Child Care Tax Credit Boost Aims At Working Parents
Washington AP Congress moves a 1976 tax bill through final stages with broad cuts and a new child care tax credit. Working parents can subtract 20 percent of up to 2000 spent for one child or 4000 for two or more, yielding up to 400 for one child and 800 for two or more. The program targets itemizers and standard deduction users alike, potentially doubling users of child care benefits to about four million. The bill also trims revenues by about 17.9 billion and faces presidential signing.
