Connecticut needs family caregivers. They need a state tax credit

Send Your Message

Across Connecticut, family caregivers help their older parents, spouses and other loved ones live independently at home—where they want to be—instead of being forced into costly, taxpayer-funded nursing homes.

Family caregivers are stressed and often overwhelmed balancing the physical, emotional, financial and time-consuming demands required to care for their older loved ones. They spend on average about $7200 annually out of their own pockets in caregiving expenses, while saving the state billions of dollars.

That’s why AARP is fighting for a Connecticut Family Caregiver Tax Credit to bring some financial relief through a modest tax credit for Connecticut's family caregivers who pay for expenses like transportation or home modifications out of their own pocket.

With 89 percent of adults in Connecticut expressing support for a caregiver tax credit, the time to for lawmakers to act is now.

Tell your state lawmakers to support family caregivers and pass a Connecticut Family Caregiver Tax Credit today.
