New tax credit would help blind Americans afford special access technology.
This bill would create a new refundable tax credit to help blind Americans and their families afford special technology that converts visual information into usable formats. Taxpayers could get up to $2,000 every three years for these purchases, making it easier to access tools like screen readers or braille displays. This credit would apply to purchases made starting in 2026.
Today, there is no specific refundable tax credit for buying technology that helps blind individuals access information. If this bill becomes law, taxpayers could claim a refundable tax credit of up to $2,000 every three years for these purchases, starting in 2026, to help cover costs not paid by insurance.
