Major Tax Relief: Higher Child Credit and Expanded Earned Income Tax Credit.

This law permanently increases the Child Tax Credit (CTC) to an annualized $3,000 ($3,600 for children under 6) and introduces monthly advance payments. It also significantly expands the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) for workers without children by increasing the credit percentage and amounts, and removing the upper age limit. Additionally, it allows taxpayers to use the prior year's income to calculate the EITC.
Key points
Monthly Child Payments: Families will receive monthly advance payments of the Child Tax Credit (CTC), improving financial stability.
Higher Child Credit: The maximum Child Tax Credit increases to $3,000 ($3,600 for young children) annually and becomes fully refundable.
Expanded EITC for Childless Workers: The Earned Income Tax Credit for workers without children is significantly increased, and age restrictions are lowered or eliminated.
Payment Protection: Advance child payments are protected from garnishment, levy, and other legal processes.
