AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would create a federal income tax credit for people age 60 or older who pay to make their homes more accessible. Covered costs include installing wheelchair ramps, widening doorways, adding grab bars, chair lifts, non-slip flooring, and replacing toilets, vanities, or faucets, along with related labor. The credit would be capped at $10,000 per year and would shrink for taxpayers whose income is above $100,000 for single filers, $150,000 for heads of household, or $200,000 for joint filers. The dollar amounts would be adjusted for inflation after 2027, and the credit would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2026.
