Working families across the country depend on quality, affordable, and reliable child care – but this care is often too costly and difficult to find. Combined with federal investments in early learning and child care programs, updating provisions of the United States tax code would help families better afford child care.
Current child care tax provisions – the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC), Employer Provided Child Care Tax Credit (45F), and Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) – are an important part of the solution, benefiting working parents and supporting economic stability across the country. Currently, there are proposals in Congress to cut the CDCTC. This would have devastating impacts on working families who rely on the CDCTC to help afford child care. With the expiration of several provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) in 2025, Congress has the opportunity to not only protect but modernize these credits to better serve more families.
