Are there tax incentives for hiring people with disabilities?
Yes. You may be eligible for $2,400 to $15,000 in tax credits. These tax credits are available to help employers cover the cost of accommodations for employees with disabilities and to make workplaces accessible. These include the IRS Code Section 44, Disabled Access Credit (Small Business Tax Credit), IRS Code Section 190, Barrier Removal Tax Deduction (Architectural/Transportation Tax Deduction) and the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). Visit the Internal Revenue Service’s website for more information on these credits and talk with your tax advisor.
