Webinar: How we can help protect and expand the CDCTC

This week, FFYF, NAEYC, and Child Care Aware of America hosted an inside look at the upcoming tax debate with MomsFirst and the Independent Restaurant Coalition; focused on the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit, (the only tax credit that specifically helps working parents with the cost of child care); strategy on what comes next; and how we can all work together to protect it.

Speakers included:

• Sarah Rubinfield, FFYF, Managing Director, Government Affairs
• Anne Hedgepeth, Child Care Aware of America, Senior Vice President of Policy and Research
• Daniel Hains, NAEYC, Managing Director of Policy and Professional Advancement

This group of experts discussed the importance of the CDCTC in growing the economy while supporting working families’ ability to afford the child care they need to continue working. With Congress focused on taxes this year, it is crucial that protecting and expanding the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC, or family care credit) is part of that conversation. This important tax credit helps working parents keep more of what they earn to pay for child care and, if it were expanded, could provide real help for families struggling to pay for child care.
