What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "Mobility Means Freedom Tax Credit Act," proposes to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. It seeks to establish a new refundable tax credit for individuals who pay for qualified mobility devices. The credit would cover 50 percent of the amounts paid or incurred for these devices during a taxable year. There is a limit of three qualified mobility devices per year for the credit. This amendment would apply to expenses incurred after the date the Act is enacted.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Financial Relief for Mobility Needs: The bill provides a credit equal to 50 percent of the amount paid for a qualified mobility device (Section 2(a)). This could help individuals afford essential equipment like wheelchairs, scooters, walkers, or artificial limbs.
-
Comprehensive Device Coverage: The definition of a "qualified mobility device" includes a wide range of items such as manual or power wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and braces, including their features or enhancements (Section 2(b)). This ensures various mobility needs are addressed.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Limits on Device Assistance: The credit is limited to no more than 3 qualified mobility devices per taxable year (Section 2(c)). This could be a burden for individuals who require more than three specific items or replacements within a single year.
-
Restrictions on Multiple Benefits: Taxpayers cannot claim a full deduction or another credit for the same expense if they are using this mobility device credit (Section 2(d)). This prevents people from getting a "double benefit" from the same expense.
