Xtreme Tax Facts :
The Child and Dependent Care Credit helps eligible taxpayers offset some of the costs of caring for a qualifying child or dependent so they can work or actively look for work.
Beginning with tax year 2026, the maximum credit rate increases from 35% to 50% of qualifying expenses, while the maximum qualifying expenses remain $3,000 for one qualifying individual and $6,000 for two or more qualifying individuals. The amount of the credit taxpayers receive depends on their income and other eligibility requirements.
