NASE Supports Credit for Caring in 119th Congress
In a letter to Congressional leaders, NASE along with dozens of other organizations, urged Congress to enact financial relief for family caregivers by including the bipartisan, bicameral Credit for Caring Act (S. 3702/H.R. 7165 in the 118th Congress) in any tax legislation you advance in the 119th Congress. This legislation would create a new, non-refundable federal tax credit for eligible working family caregivers to help address the financial challenges of caregiving.
The Credit for Caring Act would create a new, non-refundable federal tax credit of up to $5,000 for eligible working family caregivers to help address the significant financial impact of caregiving. Eligible caregivers caring for loved ones of all ages could receive the credit if the care recipient meets certain functional or cognitive limitations or other requirements. This tax credit would help working family caregivers regardless of whether they live with their loved one or if their loved one is a dependent.
