To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to increase the employer tax credit for paid family and medical leave.
HR 1424 increases the employer tax credit for providing paid family and medical leave under the Internal Revenue Code. It doubles the credit percentages - from 12.5% to 25% for smaller employers and 25% to 50% for larger employers - and makes the credit permanent by removing its temporary sunset provision. This bill directly affects employers who offer paid leave benefits, reducing their tax burden for providing such coverage. The changes apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
