The IRS Disabled Access Credit (Section 44) helps small businesses cover the financial costs of making their digital and physical spaces accessible.
If your business generated gross revenues of $1 million or less, or employed 30 or fewer full-time workers in the previous tax year, you are highly likely to be eligible.
This federal tax credit covers 50% of your eligible accessibility expenses between $250 and $10,250, allowing for a maximum annual credit of $5,000.
Eligible expenses specifically include website accessibility audits, custom remediation code work, and making digital documents readable for assistive technologies.
Because this is a true tax credit rather than a deduction, it directly reduces the actual tax dollars you owe to the IRS, effectively cutting the cost of your website compliance project in half.
