Child Care Tax Benefit Outreach and Assistance Act

Key Points

• This bill would create a new "Business Child Care Liaison" position within the IRS. This person’s main job would be to help companies understand and use federal tax breaks that are already available for providing child care to their workers.
• The new liaison would work with business owners, state agencies, and child care experts to promote options like on-site daycare, child care stipends, and flexible spending accounts. They would also create a special website to make these rules easier to find and follow.
• Small businesses are a major focus of this plan. The bill aims to lower the "information barrier" that often prevents smaller companies from offering the same child care perks that large corporations do because the tax laws are too complicated.
• Every year, the liaison would have to tell Congress how many businesses are actually using these tax credits. They would also suggest new laws or changes to help even more companies support their employees' child care needs.
