Bill > HR1426

This bill proposes two key changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase tax credits related to child and dependent care. First, it doubles the maximum credit for household and dependent care services expenses, raising the limit from $3,000 to $6,000 for individuals and from $6,000 to $12,000 for families, which would provide more financial relief to working parents who need to pay for childcare or care for dependent family members. Second, the bill increases the employer-provided child care credit from $150,000 to $400,000, which would incentivize businesses to offer more robust child care support and benefits to their employees. Both of these changes would apply to taxable years beginning after the date of the Act's enactment, meaning taxpayers could potentially benefit from these increased credits in the next tax year. The bill aims to help families manage the rising costs of child and dependent care by providing more substantial tax credits to offset these expenses.
