This bill creates a new savings program specifically for employees of small businesses in New York state to help them save money for child and dependent care. It affects employers with one to one hundred employees who have been in business for at least two years and do not currently offer a child and dependent care savings plan. The program allows employees to contribute a portion of their wages through payroll deductions, with contributions managed by the state's comptroller and labor commissioner. Employers would establish payroll systems to collect these contributions, and employees could choose their contribution amounts or opt out of the program. The bill also outlines rules for enrollment periods, contribution limits, and how employees can withdraw their savings under certain circumstances.
This bill creates a new tax-advantaged savings program called SAVE for small businesses with 25 or fewer employees and annual net income under $250,000. It allows these businesses to contribute up to 10% of their previous year's gross profits to the accounts and deduct those contributions from their taxes, while tax-free withdrawals are permitted during specified economic hardship periods if the funds are used for worker hiring or job retention. The program requires the state tax commissioner to establish account standards, set distribution limits during hardship periods, and report annually on the accounts' effectiveness in stabilizing businesses and creating jobs.

The bill modifies tax calculations for income above $400,000 up to $500,000, with specific formulas for higher brackets. These changes apply to New York State tax returns for 2027 and later.

Employees can contribute pre-tax income through their employer’s payroll system, with contributions limited to IRS Section 125/129 guidelines. Businesses must set up a payroll arrangement for employees to enroll, choose contribution amounts (as a percentage or fixed dollar amount), and allow annual enrollment changes. The program is administered by the state comptroller and labor commissioner, aiming to provide a low-cost, portable savings tool for small business employees.
