Stronger Start for Working Families Act

This bill changes the federal child tax credit rules about how much a family must earn from work before it can receive the refundable part of the credit. Under current law, the refundable amount is figured using earnings above $3,000; this bill lowers that threshold to $1. It also removes a related provision in the tax code's special rules for recent tax years. The changes would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.
