Help paying for care
- Texas has an income-based childcare subsidy that pays part of the cost directly to the daycare. Families pay a sliding-scale copay, the daycare must be approved to accept it, and there can be a wait, so apply early.
- The federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit counts up to $3,000 of childcare costs for one child, or $6,000 for two or more.
- If your employer offers a Dependent Care FSA, you can pay for childcare with pre-tax dollars.
