OKLAHOMA CITY – The Oklahoma House of Representatives today called on Congress to pass a federal version of Oklahoma’s first-of-its-kind tax credit for working family caregivers.
In 2023, Oklahoma became the first state in the nation to implement a comprehensive caregiver tax credit, the Caring for Caregivers Act, offering up to $3,000 annually to qualified residents. Now, lawmakers are urging their federal counterparts to help ease the financial burden on the nearly 490,000 family caregivers across Oklahoma.
