Why am I entitled to "Age Amount" but my husband does not get it. He is a year older than I am?

[TurboTaxTerry · Accepted solution]

Your husbands Net Income will be above the prescribed threshold or you have entered his Date of Birth incorrectly in the software.

Claim this amount if you were 65 years of age or older on December 31, 2016, and your net income (line 236 of your return) is less than $83,427.

If your net income was:

• $35,927 or less, claim $7,125 on line 301 of Schedule 1, Federal Tax; or
• more than $35,927, but less than $83,427, complete the chart for line 301 on the Federal Worksheet to calculate your claim.
