Employer Credit FAQs
The Internal Revenue Code Section 45S provides a tax credit for employers who provide paid family and medical leave to their employees. Eligible employers may claim the credit, which is equal to a percentage of wages they pay to qualifying employees while they’re on family and medical leave. The credit is effective for wages paid in taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026. For more information, see Notice 2018-71.
This webpage dives into the credit extended by the OBBBA in 2026.
