Summary
Americans Giving Care to Elders Act of 2026 or the AGE Act of 2026
This bill provides a new nonrefundable federal tax credit for 20% of a taxpayer’s expenses to care for an older adult, subject to limitations. The amount of expenses incurred during any year that may be taken into account for the tax credit may not exceed $6,000. Further, the tax credit begins to phase out once a taxpayer’s adjusted gross income exceeds $120,000.

Expenses eligible for the tax credit include amounts paid for
- medical care,
- lodging away from home,
