N.Y. Tax Law Section 44
Employer-provided child care credit

(a)

General. A taxpayer subject to tax under article nine-A, twenty-two, or thirty-three of this chapter shall be allowed a credit against such tax in an amount equal to two hundred percent of the portion of the credit that is allowed to the taxpayer under section 45F of the internal revenue code that is attributable to (i) qualified child care expenditures paid or incurred with respect to a qualified child care facility with a situs in the state, and to (ii) qualified child care resource and referral expenditures paid or incurred with respect to the taxpayer’s employees working in the state. The credit allowable under this subdivision for any taxable year shall not exceed five hundred thousand dollars. If the entity operating the qualified child care facility is a partnership or a New York S corporation, then such cap shall be applied at the entity level, so the aggregate credit allowed to all the partners or shareholders of such entity in a taxable year does not exceed five hundred thousand dollars.

(b)

Credit recapture. If there is a cessation of operation or change in ownership, as defined by section 45F of the internal revenue code relating to a qualified child care facility with a situs in the state, the taxpayer shall add back the applicable recapture percentage of the credit allowed under this section in accordance with the recapture provisions of section 45F of the internal revenue code, but the recapture amount shall be limited to the credit allowed under this section.

(c)

Reporting requirements. A taxpayer that has claimed a credit under this section shall notify the commissioner of any cessation of operation, change in ownership, or agreement to assume recapture liability as such terms are defined by section 45F of the internal revenue code, in the form and manner prescribed by the commissioner.

(d)

Definitions. The terms “qualified child care expenditures”, “qualified child care facility”, “qualified child care resource and referral expenditure”, “cessation of operation”, “change of ownership”, and “applicable recapture percentage” shall have the same meanings as in section 45F of the internal revenue code.

(e)
