Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Disabled Access Credit allows small businesses to claim a credit of 50% of the expenditures incurred for making a facility accessible, up to a maximum of $10,250. The first $250 is not eligible for the credit, so the credit is calculated as 50% of ($18,000 - $250) = $8,875. However, the maximum credit allowed is $5,000.
