Hawaii SB879 introduces a tax credit for family caregivers who provide unpaid long-term care services. The credit is available to eligible taxpayers who care for a relative by blood, marriage, or adoption, or someone with a substantial familial relationship. The credit can be claimed for expenses such as home care aides, respite care, and health care equipment, up to a maximum of $5,000 per year. The bill aims to support family caregivers, who contribute significantly to the long-term care system, by offering financial relief for their out-of-pocket caregiving expenses.
