    Hi there, @ERE55. Yes, a parent can claim the dependent with a disability and the caregiver amount.
     

    If the dependent is under the age of 18, ProTax automatically calculates the disability supplement for dependents under 18 when you select "Yes" in this field.
     

    For a deeper dive into the specific calculations and eligibility requirements, refer to this resource: Claiming Disability/Infirmity Amount for dependant(s) in ProTax.
