Hiring Employees with Disabilities

Tax benefits for Hiring the Disabled

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, see the Presidential Task Force on Employment of Adults with Disabilities web site.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has a web site, "Small Business: How do I comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act", at . This site has information especially for smaller businesses, 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.
