To help businesses welcome customers with disabilities, the IRS offers two tax incentives to remove access barriers.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses can take advantage of two Federal tax incentives available to help cover costs of making access improvements for customers with disabilities:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <span>A tax credit for small businesses<\/span> who remove access barriers from their facilities, provide accessible services, or take other steps to improve accessibility for customers with disabilities<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <span>A tax deduction for businesses<\/span> of all sizes that remove access barriers in their facilities or vehicles<\/p>\n<p>A business that annually incurs eligible expenses to bring itself into compliance with the ADA may use these tax incentives every year. The incentives may be applied to a variety of expenditures; however, they may not be applied to the costs of new construction. All barrier removal must comply with applicable Federal accessibility standards.<\/p>\n<p><span>Tax Credit <\/span><\/p>\n<p>Small businesses with 30 or fewer employees or total revenues of $1 million or less can use the Disabled Access Credit (Internal Revenue Code, Section 44). Eligible small businesses may take a credit of up to $5,000 (half of eligible expenses up to $10,250, with no credit for the first $250) to offset their costs for access, including barrier removal from their facilities (e.g., widening a doorway, installing a ramp), provision of accessibility services (e.g., sign language interpreters), provision of printed material in alternate formats (e.g., large-print, audio, Braille), and provision or modification of equipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax Incentives Forms and Publications<\/strong><br \/>\nVisit the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov or call<br \/>\n800-829-3676 (voice); 800-829-4059 (TTY) to order the necessary business forms and publications: <strong>Form 8826 (Disabled Access Credit)<\/strong> and <strong>Publication 535 \u201cBusiness Expenses\u201d (tax deduction)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><span>Tax Deduction<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Businesses of all sizes may take advantage of this tax deduction. Under Internal Revenue Code, Section 190, businesses can take a business expense deduction of up to $15,000 per year for costs of removing barriers in facilities or vehicles.<\/p>\n<p><span>Tax Incentives in Combination<\/span><\/p>\n<p>These two incentives can be used together by eligible businesses if the expenditures qualify under both Sections 44 and 190. If a small business\u2019 expenses exceed $10,250 for the maximum $5,000 tax credit, then the deduction equals the difference between the total spent and the amount of the credit claimed.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about the ADA and business,<br \/>\nvisit the Department of Justice ADA Business Connection at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ada.gov\/adahom1.htm\">www.ada.gov<\/a>.<br \/>\nOr, call the toll-free ADA Information Line:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">800-514-0301 (voice) \u2022 800-514-0383 (TTY)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A tax credit for small businesses who remove access barriers from their facilities, provide accessible services, or take other steps to improve accessibility for customers with disabilities FREE ESTIMATES\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 ADA CERTIFIED REMODELER Jacksonville\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Duval County\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 904-346-1266 St Augustine\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 St Johns County\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 904-824-7144 Orange Park\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Clay County\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 904-264-6444 Jacksonville Beaches\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Duval County\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0904-246-3969 Fernandina\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Nassau County\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/228"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=228"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/228\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":230,"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/228\/revisions\/230"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/asapgeneralcontracting.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
