Abstract

The federal Child and Dependent Care Credit (CDCC) subsidizes child care costs for working families. Before 2021, the CDCC was nonrefundable, so only families with positive tax liability after other deductions benefited. I estimate how CDCC eligibility, benefits, and marginal tax rates would change if the credit were made permanently refundable. Under refundability, some 5 percent of single parents gain eligibility and receive on average over $1,000 annually. Eligibility increases are largest among Black and Hispanic households. Increases in marginal tax rates among moderate-income taxpayers are small.

永久可退还的儿童和受抚养人照顾抵税额如何影响资格、福利和激励?

联邦儿童和受抚养人照顾信贷(CDCC)补贴工薪家庭的儿童照顾费用。在2021年之前，CDCC是不可退还的，因此只有在其他扣除后纳税义务为正的家庭才能受益。我估计了CDCC的资格，福利和边际税率将如何变化，如果信贷是永久退还。根据可退还性，大约5%的单亲父母获得资格，平均每年获得超过1000美元。黑人和西班牙裔家庭的资格增幅最大。中等收入纳税人的边际税率增幅很小。
