I have a friend that is blind in one eye. What is the criteria by the IRS to be considered legally blind? What is the benefit when filing your taxes?

Criteria to be considered blind by the IRS Empty Tax deduction for blindness

Post  William D McConnaughy Sat Mar 24, 2012 5:16 am

The criteria for being considered blind by the IRS tax purposes if you are not totally blind is that the person must get a certified statement from an eye doctor (ophthalmologist or optometrist) that 1.) you can not see better than 20/200 in the better eye with glasses or contact lenses, or 2.) the person's field of vision is 20 degrees or less.

The benefit when filing your taxes is that if you do not take itemized deductions you are able to a higher amount for the standard deduction on your income tax return.
