The Mobility Means Freedom Tax Credit Act would create a new federal tax credit allowing individuals to claim 50 percent of the cost of qualified mobility devices on their tax returns. Qualifying devices include wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, braces, crutches, canes, and prosthetic limbs, along with any features or enhancements to these devices. The bill would limit the credit to a maximum of three devices per year and applies to expenses incurred after the bill is enacted. This is a refundable credit, meaning eligible taxpayers could receive money back even if they owe no taxes. The legislation primarily benefits individuals with disabilities or mobility challenges who purchase assistive devices, potentially reducing out-of-pocket costs for these often-expensive medical aids.
