S 5216: Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act of 2026

The Senior Accessible Housing Tax Credit Act of 2026 creates a new tax credit for individuals aged 60 or older to help cover the costs of home modifications that improve accessibility. This credit allows eligible taxpayers to claim up to $10,000 for expenses related to installing features such as wheelchair ramps, widened doorways, grab bars, and other safety improvements. The benefit is subject to income limits, where the credit amount decreases as a taxpayer's modified adjusted gross income exceeds specific thresholds ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 depending on filing status. The law also prevents taxpayers from receiving other tax benefits for the same expenses and requires the credit amount to be adjusted for inflation starting in 2028.
