Learn about the new Child Tax Credit

June 21, 2021 – Today is Child Tax Credit Awareness Day—a day of action to get the word out far and wide on this tax benefit to help families who are raising children.

What you need to know:

The Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides the largest Child Tax Credit ever and historic relief to the most working families ever – and most families will automatically receive monthly payments without having to take any action.

President Biden’s American Families Plan calls for extending this tax relief for years and years.

Low-income families with children are eligible for this crucial tax relief – including those who have not made enough money to be required to file taxes.
