Child Tax Credit Equity for Puerto Rico Residents

This act aims to provide residents of Puerto Rico with the same Child Tax Credit benefits as other parts of the United States. This means families in Puerto Rico with one or two children will be eligible for the refundable portion of the credit, similar to families with three or more children. These changes could increase financial support for many families in Puerto Rico, improving their economic situation.
Key points
Puerto Rico residents will have equal access to the refundable portion of the child tax credit, similar to other U.S. citizens.
Families in Puerto Rico with one or two children will now be eligible for the refundable credit, which was previously only available to families with three or more children.
The changes apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2020.
