Quick Glance: New Tax Bill Expands Child Tax Credit and Business Breaks
  • A comprehensive, bipartisan tax reform was passed by the House to expand the child tax credit for American families and reinstate tax breaks for businesses.

  • The widespread support in the House was critical for the legislation, fast-tracked under a tactic known as 'suspension' by Republicans.

  • The tax legislation passed would raise the refundable portion to $1,800 per child in 2023, $1,900 per child in 2024 and $2,000 per child in 2025.

  • The bill would also create tax benefits for people impacted by natural disasters and strengthen the low-income housing tax credit.
