The tax act signed into law at the end of December 2017 created a federal tax credit for eligible employers that provide paid family and medical leave to their employees, beginning with leave taken in 2018. A lack of IRS guidance has left employers to rely on the tax bill’s language if they choose to move forward, with the expectation of claiming the credit when paying business taxes for 2018.
