The Home Child Bill
Home child care tax credit could lower taxes for providers
Home-based Child Care Income Tax Credit
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would give families that run child care at home a tax credit, lowering the amount of tax they owe each year.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Parents who run day‑care from their house could keep more money, which might let them keep prices low for families. Watch the bill as it moves through the legislature.
