    IRS Set to Increase Child Tax Credit Amount in 2024 Update

    Child tax credit may likely be increased for eligible families. This is occurring because a bipartisan bill is passing through the legislative process.

    The Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024 is currently being passed in the Senate. This tax relief would raise the refundable portion cap of the child tax credit from $1800 to $1900, then to $2000 each tax year from 2023 to 2025.

    A $78 Billion Package

    This child tax credit bill has already been passed in the House of Representatives. Missouri Republican Rep. Jason Smith, chairman of the House’s tax committee, and his Senate counterpart, Oregon Democrat and Finance Chairman Ron Wyden, have already agreed to the $78 billion package.

    In January, lawmakers agreed to a bipartisan deal that would expand child tax credits. This deal will also improve low-income housing tax credits and, at the same time, boost some business tax credits.

    More About the Tax Credit

    Not only will the child tax credit be expanded, but the access to it will also be expanded. There would be a steady increase in the refundable segment for the years 2023 to 2025. For larger families, penalties would be removed.

    Before the bill was passed in the House, an initial vote was carried out. The legislation was voted 40-3 to be sent to the floor by the House Ways and Means Committee.

    Presidential Support

    President Joe Biden is backing this legislation. White House spokesman Michael Kikukawa made a statement in an interview.

    He said, “We appreciate Chairman Wyden and Chairman Smith’s effort toward increasing the child tax credit for millions of families. And for supporting hundreds of thousands of additional affordable homes. We also appreciate them for looking forward to reviewing the complete details of their agreement,”

    The Next Step

    On the 31st of January, the House of Representatives, led by the Republicans, voted 357 – 70 to pass the bill. After this, it was sent to the Senate. However, some lawmakers still want some changes made to the bill.

    “I think this bill needs to be moved through finance. They should have an amendment process without having the whole thing pre-decided,” West Virginia Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito said.

    Opinions of Policymakers 

    Senator Capito further said, “That’s what bothers people when they’re trying to make policy. They don’t have opportunities to weigh in. That’s why I’m for the committee process. Bring the bill and let it go through committee.”

    Indiana Republican Senator Todd Young said, “ I hope changes would be made to the bill before it reaches the floor.” Senator Young did not say exactly what he would like to see dropped or added to the bill. He only said, “We’re still hoping to make improvements. I’m not going to elaborate.”

    Message from the IRS

    For the bill to be passed in the Democrat-led Senate, the bill will need 60 votes. A schedule for a vote is yet to be decided. The chairman of the Senate’s tax-writing committee, Wyden, mentioned that he would be talking with Senate leader Chuck Schumer. They will discuss if there would be amendment votes.

    According to what the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)  said last week, any funds could be issued within six to twelve weeks of the bill’s potential passage. They also said regardless of the upcoming changes, taxpayers must complete their tax returns without delay.

    Enacting Changes 

    “Implementations may start as early as six to twelve weeks after the law has been passed. However, this largely depends on the bill’s final results. Regardless, taxpayers should not wait until the bill is passed before filing their returns.

    We will ensure taxpayers who have already filed are refunded. They won’t have to take additional steps.” This statement was made by the IRS Commissioner, Danny Wefel. He made the statement on the 15th of February when he was talking to lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

    Beneficiaries 

    The Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP) made an analysis. The analysis showed that in the first year, about 16 million children will be beneficiaries of the bill. This includes about 3 million children under the age of 3.

    George Fenton, the centre’s senior policy analyst, also made a statement. He said, “When the expansion is fully implemented in 2025, it will help about half a million children cross the poverty line. It would also financially support about 5 million more children in families with incomes below the poverty line.”

    Expectations in the Nearest Future 

    Chuck Marr, CBPP’s vice president of federal tax policy, was in an interview. He said, “This proposal rightly focuses on roughly 19 million children. These are children who today are left out of the full child tax credit because their families’ incomes are too low.

    This proposal would increase the credit for more than 80 percent of these children. It would lift as many as 400,000 children above the poverty line in the first year and make at least 3 million children less poor.”
