Could your employer help with child care?
Employer-supported child care can help families manage the cost of care while giving businesses access to federal and Georgia tax credits that make it more affordable for employers to provide that support. The credits belong to the employer, but employees can be the ones who start the conversation.
We provide working families with simple resources to understand how the benefit can work, check what information a child care provider may need to share, and bring the opportunity to an employer.
What this benefit can look like
In many arrangements, an employer pays some portion of child care costs directly to a qualifying provider on an employee's behalf instead of adding the money to a paycheck.
The exact structure, amount of support, provider rules, and tax treatment for the employee depend on the employer's program. Employees should confirm those details with their employer.
How QCC can help you get started
You do not need to explain tax law to your employer. We provide a brief employer handout and other resources to help your employer evaluate the opportunity with their tax professional.
If your employer already offers a child care benefit, our resources will help you understand provider eligibility, enrollment steps, and the information your employer may request.
