At Access Lifts & Ramps and Access Home Elevators we are trying to find ways to make it easy for you to stay in your home and save you money.  One way is with information about tax savings.


TAX SAVINGS

 

There may be some tax benefits with the purchase of a Home Elevator, Stairway Chair Lift, Porch Lift or a Modular Ramp System.  You may qualify for some tax benefits if you are installing any of these products due to a medical necessity.

 

If you can obtain a doctor's letter stating that the Home Elevator, Stairway Chair Lift, Porch Lift or Modular Ramp System is a medical necessity or required for other medical reasons the owner may have the ability to write off a portion of the purchase from their federal income tax.

 

The tax law currently reads medical expenses are deductible to the extent for those expenses only above 7.5% of adjusted gross income, with certain other restrictions.  Therefore, medical expenses above 7.5% would be eligible for deduction.

 

See IRS Publication 502 (Medical and Dental Expenses)

With all tax considerations, we advise you to consult your tax accountant/attorney to determine individual qualification for deduction.

Plus you may be eligible for NYS Sales Tax refund on Ramps.
