New Nebraska Child Care Tax Credits – $25 Million Annually for Families and Businesses
According to the Nebraska Examiner, childcare advocates in Nebraska have started a new campaign to spread the word about the state’s new tax credits for child care. These credits, which are seen as a major achievement, aim to support families and improve the childcare industry. Elizabeth Everett from First Five Nebraska calls the credits the best in the country and hopes they will help stop the decline of childcare centers and workers.
The state has set aside $25 million each year for these credits, which can be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis. The credits are meant for both families and businesses, with no end date for when they expire. The campaign will use ads in English and Spanish and will work with various local groups to make sure people know about the credits and how to apply for them.
