What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Improving Child Care for Working Families Act of 2025," proposes an amendment to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to increase the limitation of the exclusion for dependent care assistance programs. Specifically, it aims to raise the amount from $7,500 to $10,500. These changes would apply to amounts paid or incurred in calendar years beginning after the act is enacted.
