Lets working families get a tax credit for caring for loved ones with long-term needs.
Working families who care for a spouse or relative with long-term needs would get a new tax credit. This credit would cover 30% of their qualified care expenses over $2,000, up to $10,000, helping ease the financial burden of caregiving. This would apply to tax years starting after December 31, 2025.
Currently, no specific tax credit helps working families cover long-term care costs for loved ones. Existing general medical or dependent care deductions are the only options. If this bill passes, working family caregivers would be able to claim a new tax credit for 30% of qualified care expenses over $2,000, up to $10,000, for a spouse or relative with certified long-term care needs, starting in tax years after December 31, 2025.
