Purpose of Form

4. To acquire or modify equipment or

Eligible small businesses use Form 8826
to claim the disabled access credit. This
credit is part of the general business
credit.

The expenditures must be reasonable
and necessary to accomplish the above
purposes.

Taxpayers, other than partnerships or
S corporations, whose only source of
this credit is from those pass-through
entities, are not required to complete or
file this form. Instead, they can report
this credit directly on Form 3800.

Definitions
Eligible Small Business
For purposes of the credit, an eligible
small business is any business or person
that:
• Had gross receipts (including that of
any predecessor) for the preceding tax
year that did not exceed $1 million or
had no more than 30 full-time employees
during the preceding tax year, and
• Elects (by filing Form 8826) to claim the
disabled access credit for the tax year.
For purposes of the definition:
• Gross receipts are reduced by returns
and allowances made during the tax
year,
• An employee is considered full time if
employed at least 30 hours per week for
20 or more calendar weeks in the tax
year, and
• All members of the same controlled
group and all persons under common
control generally are considered to be
one person—see section 44(d)(2).

Eligible Access Expenditures
For purposes of the credit, these
expenditures are amounts paid or
incurred by the eligible small business
to comply with applicable requirements
under the Americans With Disabilities
Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-336) as in
effect on November 5, 1990.
Eligible access expenditures include
amounts paid or incurred:

Eligible expenditures do not include
expenditures in 1 above that are paid or
incurred in connection with any facility
first placed in service after November 5,
1990.
Eligible access expenditures must
meet those standards issued by the
Secretary of the Treasury as agreed to
by the Architectural and Transportation
Barriers Compliance Board and set forth
in regulations. See section 44(c) for other
details.
Disability. For an individual, this means:
• A physical or mental impairment that
substantially limits one or more major life
activities,
• A record of such an impairment, or
• Being regarded as having such an
impairment.

Member of Controlled Group or
Business Under Common Control
For purposes of figuring the credit, all
members of a controlled group of
corporations (as defined in section 52(a))
and all members of a group of
businesses under common control (as
defined in section 52(b)), are treated as a
single taxpayer. As a member, compute
your credit based on your proportionate
share of eligible access expenditures
giving rise to the group’s disabled
access credit. Enter your share of the
credit on line 6. Attach a statement
showing how your share of the credit
was figured, and write “See attached”
next to the entry space for line 6.

Specific Instructions
Line 1
Enter total eligible access expenditures
paid or incurred during the tax year. See
Eligible Access Expenditures, earlier.

Line 6
Denial of double benefit. To the extent
of the credit shown on line 6, the eligible
