Hearing Aid Tax Credit Legislation Introduced in U.S. Senate
Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) has introduced the Hearing Aid Assistance Tax Credit Act (S. 1019) which will provide the opportunity for an individual to receive $500 per hearing aid tax credit every five years. The bill is similar to H.R. 1646, introduced earlier this year by Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY). The House bill, however, limits access to the tax credit to children and individuals over the age of 55 whose income does not exceed $200,000, whereas the Senate version is inclusive to all individuals, regardless of age or income.
