WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-writtenThe bill focuses on awareness and assistance, not on creating new child care tax benefits. It would task the IRS with explaining existing options, including dependent care assistance programs and the child care credit under section 45F, and with collecting information about how employers use them.
KEY PROVISIONS
5AI-extractedPROVISION 01
The IRS Commissioner would appoint a Business Child Care Liaison and could create an office with additional support staff.
This would establish a dedicated IRS role for employer-provided child care benefits.
PROVISION 02
The liaison would educate and assist businesses, connect them with the IRS and other stakeholders, and publish a fact sheet for tax preparers.
The bill aims to make information about existing child care benefits and their rules easier to find and understand.
PROVISION 03
Working with the General Services Administration, the liaison would establish a child care benefits resource link on SAM.gov within 120 days of enactment.
The link would direct businesses to information about relevant tax programs, their rules, and stated potential workplace benefits.
PROVISION 04
The liaison would advise the IRS Commissioner on relevant regulations or interpretations and recommend possible changes to Congress.
