House
Key Points
- Creates a refundable tax credit to help pay for access technology (special hardware or software) used by blind people.
- The credit can cover what you paid out of pocket (not paid back by insurance) for the taxpayer, their spouse, or a dependent who is blind.
- Limits the credit to $2,000 for each blind person over any 3-year period, with inflation adjustments starting after 2026.
- You can’t claim this credit for the same expense if you already used another tax credit or tax write-off for it.
- Would start for tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2025, and would end after Dec. 31, 2030.
