An Act amending the act of April 9, 1929 (P.L.343, No.176), known as The Fiscal Code, in Pennsylvania Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit Program, further providing for definitions and for credit for child and dependent care employment-related expenses.

This bill updates Pennsylvania's Child and Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit Program to align state tax credits with future changes in the federal tax code. It directly affects Pennsylvania taxpayers who claim credits for employment-related child and dependent care expenses by modifying how the credit amount is calculated. The legislation establishes a new "applicable percent" for tax years starting after December 31, 2025, ensuring the state credit matches the federal credit limits, which are set at $3,000 for one qualifying individual or $6,000 for two or more. By linking these two systems, the bill ensures that the state tax benefit remains consistent with federal rules for future taxable years.
