The changes will apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
Key points

The maximum amount of qualified expenditures for the credit is $15,000, meaning a maximum refund of $5,250.
The credit is available for individuals who are blind, disabled (receiving disability benefits or having a medical certification), or aged 65 and receiving specific benefits.
Examples of improvements include installing ramps, widening doors, modifying bathrooms and kitchens, or installing zero-step entrances.
Income limitations exist that may reduce the credit amount, depending on the tax filing status.
The law will take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
