New resource helps small businesses and accountants understand eligibility, qualifying accessibility expenses and steps to consider before year-end.
LOS ANGELES, Calif. — October 26, 2026 — EcomBack, a digital accessibility service provider helping businesses improve website usability and accessibility, has launched a new educational resource focused on the federal Disabled Access Credit, a tax incentive that may help eligible small businesses offset certain qualifying accessibility-related expenses.
The new resource is available at: https://www.ecomback.com/disabled-access-credit
The page explains how the federal Disabled Access Credit works, who may qualify, how the potential credit is calculated, and why businesses should consider accessibility as both a customer-access issue and an important business investment.
Under the Disabled Access Credit, an eligible small business may generally qualify if it had gross receipts of no more than $1 million or no more than 30 full-time employees during the preceding tax year. The credit is generally calculated at 50% of eligible access expenditures above $250, with the calculation limited to $10,000 in eligible expenditures. This results in a maximum potential credit of $5,000 for the year.
EcomBack created the resource to help businesses better understand an incentive that can sometimes be overlooked when organizations budget for digital accessibility improvements.
The new EcomBack page includes an interactive example showing how the credit may be calculated, links to official IRS Form 8826 information, eligibility guidance, and educational information explaining the role of digital accessibility in providing better access to online goods and services.
Website Accessibility and Equal Access
People with disabilities may interact with websites using screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, voice recognition, captions, high-contrast settings, and other assistive technologies.
When websites are not designed and developed accessibly, users may encounter barriers when attempting to navigate pages, complete forms, access information, select products, or complete online purchases.
The U.S. Department of Justice has explained that businesses open to the public are required under the Americans with Disabilities Act to provide people with disabilities equal access to their goods and services, including circumstances where inaccessible website features create barriers to access.
EcomBack helps businesses identify and remediate accessibility barriers through a combination of automated testing, manual accessibility reviews, code-level remediation, screen-reader testing, user testing, documentation, and ongoing accessibility support.
Helping Businesses Understand the Financial Side of Accessibility
EcomBack’s new Disabled Access Credit resource is designed to make the tax incentive easier for business owners, e-commerce teams, developers, and decision-makers to understand.
