What this bill would do

This bill creates a new tax credit for working family caregivers to help offset the costs of taking care of a loved one. To qualify, a caregiver must have earned income of more than $7,500 and pay for qualified care expenses that exceed $2,000. The tax credit is equal to 30 percent of those qualified expenses, up to a maximum limit of $5,000. The bill defines who counts as a qualified care recipient based on their age and specific long-term care needs certified by a health care practitioner. The credit also phases out for taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income exceeds certain thresholds.
