Bill information
Summary
A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to enhance the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit and make the credit fully refundable for certain taxpayers.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change how the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit works by making it fully refundable for certain taxpayers. A refundable credit means eligible families could get money back from the government, not just reduce what they owe in taxes. The credit helps pay for childcare and dependent care expenses. Currently, the credit has limits and is only partially refundable for some people. The bill is in the introduction stage and has not yet moved through Congress.
