Bill Summary

For legislation to establish a tax credit for child care. Revenue.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a tax credit for child care expenses. It allows taxpayers filing as single, married filing jointly, or head of household to claim a credit of up to $3,000 per child for licensed child care services in the Commonwealth. The credit can only be claimed by one of the two taxpayers who file jointly. This provides a financial incentive for families to use licensed child care providers, which can help support working parents and the child care industry.
