Available Tax Benefits
Tax Credit (Section 44)
Under Section 44 of the IRS Code, small businesses can claim a tax credit for accessibility improvements. This credit is particularly beneficial because it directly reduces your tax liability. When you qualify for a tax credit, the amount is subtracted from what you owe in taxes after your tax calculation is complete.
Tax Deduction (Section 190)
Section 190 of the IRS Code provides a tax deduction option available to businesses of all sizes. Unlike a credit, a tax deduction reduces your taxable income before taxes are calculated. This means the deduction lowers the total income amount used to determine your tax obligation.
