Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) introduced the Back-to-School Supplies Affordability Act in the House of Representatives. The bill proposes to expand the existing Child and Dependent Care Credit to include the cost of purchasing school supplies.
Why it matters: This is a legislative proposal, not a final rule or enacted law. Its practical significance depends entirely on whether it passes committee review and receives a floor vote. If enacted, it would change how families calculate their annual tax credits, potentially lowering their tax bill or increasing their refund for those who already claim the Child and Dependent Care Credit. Until it passes, it does not alter current tax obligations.
