Caregiver Tax Credit Modeled After the Child Tax Credit
On average, an American family caregiver spends $7,200.00 on food, transportation, utilities, other living expenses and care, according to AARP. Caregivers are tapping into their own savings and retirement plans to care for others. Today, most Americans enter ‘retirement age’ with little to no savings beyond their Social Security contributions. Every year the federal government issues a cost-of-living adjustment for Social Security payments. In 2022 the average monthly social security benefit was $2,434.00. With the rising inflation and no other sources of retirement income, more retirees live closer a financial cliff than we have seen in recent history. The Credit for Caring Act of 2024 is ready for both the House of Representatives and the Senate to vote. Do our law makers have the compassion and foresight to pass the act?
