Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit Enhancement Act of 2025

This bill enhances the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit to help more families afford childcare. It increases the credit percentage to 50% for lower-income families (up from 35%), raises the income threshold for full credit ($125,000 to $400,000 phaseout), and doubles the maximum credit amounts ($3,000/$6,000 to $8,000/$16,000 for one/two or more children). The credit becomes refundable for qualifying families, meaning those who owe little or no income tax can receive the full credit as a refund. It also includes annual inflation adjustments to maintain the credit's value over time.
