Childcare Access and Relief from Expenses (CARE)refundable
tax credit proposed,
which would provide about 300,000 families with up to 75% of their eligible
child care expenses. This tax credit will start with the 2019 tax
year, and will be claimed on the tax return. The tax credit will be
based on family income and eligible child care expenses. Lower income
families would get a higher percentage tax credit. Starting with the
2021 tax year, families can choose to receive advance payments throughout
the year or receive a single payment when filing their tax returns after the
year ends.
