Employers get child care tax credit

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2024, employers get a new North Dakota income tax credit for child care contributions. It covers 50% of the first $1,000 contributed per employee each year—a maximum credit of $500 per employee. Employers must give all employees with child care costs an equal chance to receive equal contributions. The care must help employees work for the employer. Providers must be licensed in North Dakota or be similar providers licensed in another state and located within 10 miles of North Dakota. Employers claim the credit for the year they contribute, using the Tax Commissioner's required forms and process. The credit cannot exceed the taxpayer's state income tax bill, and unused amounts cannot move to earlier or later years. For pass-through businesses, the credit is calculated at the business level and divided among owners based on their ownership shares.
