Did you know your business could claim thousands of dollars in tax credits and deductions by making your website and digital assets ADA-compliant? Partnering with TestParty not only ensures your website meets accessibility standards—it can also directly lower your tax bill.

Why Digital Accessibility Pays for Itself

Accessibility isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s also a smart financial decision. The IRS actively encourages businesses to remove accessibility barriers by offering powerful tax incentives under Section 44, which compliments Section 190 of the IRS Code:

1. IRS Disabled Access Credit (Section 44)

Small businesses can claim a tax credit covering 50% of eligible accessibility expenses up to $10,000 per year (maximum credit: $5,000).

  • Who qualifies? Businesses with $1 million or less in revenue or 30 or fewer full-time employees.
  • What expenses are covered?
    • Removing digital barriers, like remediating inaccessible websites.
    • Providing accessible formats such as large print, Braille, or audio content.
    • Hiring sign language interpreters or other accommodations for employees and customers.

2. IRS Barrier Removal Deduction (Section 190)

All businesses (large or small) can deduct up to $15,000 annually for expenses incurred in removing accessibility barriers

The Architectural Barrier Removal tax deduction encourages businesses of any size to remove architectural and transportation barriers to the mobility of people with disabilities and the elderly. Businesses may claim a deduction of up to $15,000 a year for qualified expenses on items that normally must be capitalized.

Claim Your Credit

You can easily apply for these benefits by filing IRS Form 8826 with your tax return. Read more here.

How TestParty Helps You Qualify

TestParty’s AI-powered accessibility platform automatically scans, fixes, and ensures your website meets ADA and WCAG standards.

  • Additional expenses can be deducted, lowering your taxable income.

By investing in accessibility today, you’re not only avoiding costly lawsuits and improving customer experiences—you’re also leveraging tax incentives to offset the cost of compliance.
