Bill overview
The Double Dependents Relief Act proposes a new tax credit for working family caregivers who provide care for a qualifying loved one. Eligible caregivers can claim a 30% tax credit for qualified expenses exceeding $2,000, up to a maximum of $10,000 per year. The credit is designed to recognize the financial burden of caregiving and is subject to income limitations and inflation adjustments. It expands the definition of qualified expenses to include respite care, counseling, and lost wages related to caregiving.
