Credit Delivery Update

In March 2024, Governor Tony Evers signed Assembly Bill 1023 under the Wisconsin Act 1, aiming to reduce the tax burden on families struggling with high childcare and dependent care costs. This act, which offers nearly $73 million annually in tax relief, benefits over 110,000 Wisconsin residents, providing an average benefit of over $656 per taxpayer. This initiative aligns with the governor’s 25th biennial budget proposal to provide more significant support for low-income families.

Governor Evers extended the child and dependent care tax credit to ease the financial burden on low-income families. By increasing the maximum allowable expenses and matching 100% of the Federal Tax Credit (FTC), the state doubled its contribution under the new law.
