What is the ADA Tax Credit, and can it offset my website accessibility costs?

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.
