If you received a CARES grant in 2020 as an eligible child care provider, please be aware this is considered taxable income, and must be reported on your 2020 income tax report. Non-corporate entities that received over $600 will receive at least one 1099-G tax form from the State of Nebraska.

CARES grants for child care providers wer​e administered and distributed in three main ways – and you may receive a 1099 for each of these, depending on the total amount of funding you received:

1. Online application process through DHHS and Amplifund in July, with payments in September (form 1099-G)
   
2. Automatic payments to subsidy providers only in December (form 1099-G)
3. Application process through Nebraska Children & Families Foundation administered throughout 2020 (form 1099-MISC)

You may have already received one 1099-G from the State. Other 1099s will be mailed by February 1, 2021. We recommend you wait until mid-February to complete your taxes to ensure enough time to receive all forms.

We offer this recommendation as friendly advice. The Department of Health & Human Services cannot offer tax guidance. Should you have questions about filing your taxes, please speak with a tax professional.​​
