Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow families who foster children to claim a tax credit, reducing the amount of federal income tax they owe each year. The credit is designed to help offset the costs of caring for foster children, such as food, clothing, and other expenses. Foster families and the children in their care would be the primary beneficiaries of this tax break.
