Controlled groups. All members of a

controlled group of corporations (within the

meaning of section 52(a)) and all persons

under common control (within the meaning

of section 52(b)) are treated as one person

for purposes of the credit. The group

member with the most eligible access

expenditures should figure the group credit

in Part I and skip Part II. On separate

Forms 8826, each member of the group

skips lines 1 through 5 and enters its share

of the group credit on line 6. Each member

then completes the remaining applicable

lines (or Form 3800, if required) on its

separate form. Each member must also

attach to its Form 8826 a schedule

showing how the group credit was divided

among all members. The members share

the credit in the same proportion that they

contributed eligible access expenditures.

Eligible Access Expenditures

Eligible access expenditures include

amounts paid or incurred:

1. To remove barriers that prevent a

business from being accessible to or

usable by individuals with disabilities;

2. To provide qualified interpreters or

other methods of making audio materials

available to hearing-impaired individuals;

3. To provide qualified readers, taped

texts, and other methods of making visual

materials available to individuals with visual

impairments; or

4. To acquire or modify equipment or

devices for individuals with disabilities.

Denial of double benefit. To the extent of

the credit shown on line 6, the eligible

access expenditures may not be claimed

as a deduction in figuring taxable income,

capitalized, or used in figuring any other

credit.

The expenditures must be reasonable

and necessary to accomplish the above

purposes.

Eligible expenditures do not include

expenditures in 1 above that are paid or

incurred in connection with any facility first

placed in service after November 5, 1990.

those standards issued by the Secretary of

the Treasury as agreed to by the

rules that apply to married couples filing

separate returns, controlled corporate

groups, regulated investment companies,

and real estate investment trusts.

Line 19. If you cannot use all of the credit

because of the tax liability limit (line 18 is

smaller than line 8), carry the unused credit

back 1 year then forward up to 20 years.
