Summary of Bill S 4874

Bill 118 s 4874, also known as the "Employer-Provided Child Care Credit and Dependent Care Assistance Exclusion Expansion Act," aims to make changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to increase the benefits available to working parents for child care expenses.

The bill proposes to expand the employer-provided child care credit, which is a tax credit that employers can claim for providing child care services to their employees. This expansion would allow employers to claim a larger credit for the expenses they incur in providing child care services to their employees.
