Tax Deduction to Remove Architectural and Transportation Barriers to People with Disabilities and Elderly Individuals
(Title 26, IRS Code, section 190). Businesses may deduct up to $15,000 of the costs incurred each year for "qualified architectural and transportation barrier removal expenses." Expenditures to make a facility or public transportation vehicle owned or leased in connection with a trade or business more accessible to, and usable by, individuals who are handicapped or elderly are eligible for the deduction.
The definition of a "handicapped individual" is similar to the ADA definition of an "individual with a disability." To be eligible for this deduction, modifications must meet the requirements of standards established by IRS regulations implementing this section.
