Overview
This bill, the Caregiver’s Assistance Act, creates a gross income tax credit for qualified caregivers who provide care and support to a qualifying senior family member. Caregivers with gross incomes up to $100,000 (or $50,000 for those filing separately) can receive a credit of up to 22.5% of qualified care expenses, capped at $3,000 per year. The credit is designed to help offset the costs of caring for elderly relatives and is refundable if it reduces the tax liability to zero.
