## Summary

**Creates a new nonrefundable eldercare expense credit** that helps taxpayers who pay for care of relatives age 65 or older who need help with daily activities. The credit covers a range of costs from adult day services to home modifications and caregiver training. - Families and caregivers: Lets taxpayers claim a credit against tax for eligible eldercare expenses up to $6,000 per year. The credit is nonrefundable so it can only reduce tax liability. - Older adults and households: A qualifying individual is age 65 or older who requires assistance with activities of daily living and who is either a specified relative or a household member. Eligible costs include adult day programs, personal care, respite care, assistive technologies, home modifications, counseling or training, and certain medical lodging. - Filing and limits: The base credit rate is 20 percent and phases down for taxpayers with adjusted gross income above $120,000. Claiming the credit requires listing the service provider’s name, address, and taxpayer identification number or, for 501(c)(3) organizations, the name and address. The credit cannot duplicate the benefit under the dependent care rules.
