The ADA Tax Credit – Impulse®

Leverage government programs & grow your practice!

Savvy practitioners leverage tax credits to maximize practice potential.

While the purchase of an Impulse® or IQ® adds unique differentiation to the overall practice making you more attractive to a wider patient population, these instruments also qualify for the ADA tax credit because it allows you to adjust patients who may be immobile, or confined to a wheelchair.

There has never been a better time to take full advantage of this program.

ADA Tax Credit Explained (Applies to Impulse® & Impulse IQ® Instruments)

What is the ADA?
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires businesses and healthcare providers to ensure equal access and opportunity for individuals with disabilities, including patients with mobility limitations, neuromuscular challenges, or hearing impairments.

What is the ADA Tax Credit?
It’s a federal tax credit that reimburses providers for qualifying expenses made to improve access for individuals with disabilities.

NOTE: The ADA tax credit, the credit equals 50% of qualifying access expenditures above $250, up to $10,000 in eligible expenses (which produces the maximum $5,000 credit).

How Much Can I Receive?
Under Internal Revenue Code Section 44, you may receive a tax credit equal to 50% of what you paid for qualifying equipment, up to a maximum credit of $5,000.
This is a credit—not a deduction—meaning it can put real money back in your pocket.

Why Our Instruments Qualify
Impulse® and Impulse IQ® instruments help chiropractors deliver gentle, controlled adjustments to patients who may not tolerate manual manipulation, including individuals with disabilities. Because this equipment expands your ability to treat such patients, it can qualify as an ADA access expenditure.

Do I Need to Use It Exclusively for Disabled Patients?
No. The equipment does not need to be used exclusively for individuals with disabilities to qualify for the credit.
