What it does
The Child Care for American Families Act would increase the employer-provided child care tax credit from 25 percent to up to 60 percent of qualified expenses, with higher rates for small businesses and facilities in eligible areas such as certain census tracts or rural counties. It would also set new dollar limits on the credit and expenditures, require the Treasury Department to create a public awareness program, and mandate a GAO study on regulatory barriers affecting employer-provided child care. The changes would apply to taxable years beginning after the bill’s enactment and affect employers seeking to claim the credit under Section 45F of the Internal Revenue Code.
