An Introduction to the 45F Employer-Provided Child Care Tax Credit
Working parents power El Paso's workforce, and access to reliable child care helps them show up and thrive at a job. As of 2026, the federal government let’s employers claim significant tax savings when they invest in child care for their employees. Thanks to the federal 45F Employer-Provided Child Care Tax Credit, small businesses can now get back 50% of what they invest in employee child care, with a new annual cap of $600,000 a year. Larger employers can get back 40%, with annual cap of $500,000. In practical terms, a small business can now receive 50 cents back for every dollar it invests in child care for employees. Join Early Matters El Paso and the El Paso Chamber over coffee for a practical, 90-minute session where we'll cover:
What the 45F credit is and what changed in 2026
The ways businesses can qualify, from reserving spots with local providers to paying for care on employees' behalf
Real examples of how the math works
How to claim the credit, plus open Q&A
