Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would change the federal child tax credit rules so that families with lower earnings can receive more of the refundable part of the credit. Under current law, the refundable portion is based on earned income above $3,000. The bill would lower that threshold from $3,000 to $1. It would also remove a related provision in the tax code, and the changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
