In addition to enhancing your workforce in other areas,
hiring disabled employees may qualify your business for additional tax benefits:
- Deduction for costs of removing barriers
to the disabled and elderly
- Disabled access credit
- Work opportunity tax credit
For more information on these tax benefits and
to see if you qualify, see Publication
907. For additional information on hiring employees with disabilities,

with guidance on accommodating employees with disabilities. It also
has links to other agencies that can help you make your disabled
employees an integral part of your work force.
