Tax Credits & Subsidies
All Alaska families can claim the federal Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit (CDCTC): 20-35% of up to $3,000 for one child or $6,000 for two or more (max credit: $1,050-$2,100). If your employer offers a Dependent Care FSA, you can save up to $5,000 pre-tax per year for childcare.
Alaska has no state income tax, which means more of your paycheck stays in your pocket - partially offsetting childcare costs.
