S 3295 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to establish a credit for adult child caregivers.

This bill creates a $2,000 annual tax credit for adult children who live with and provide care to aging relatives meeting specific criteria. To qualify, the caregiver must be at least 18 (or 16 if legally emancipated), live with the relative for 6+ months, and provide 10+ hours/week of care, verified by a healthcare provider. The care recipient must be age 55+, unable to perform 1 activity of daily living and 3 instrumental activities (like meal prep or managing finances) without substantial help, requiring care for at least 180 days. The credit phases out for single filers earning over $75,000 ($150,000 for joint filers) and cannot be claimed alongside the existing child care credit.
