Senate Debate Stalls Biden’s Child Tax Credit Expansion

American taxpayers are waiting for the result of the proposed child tax credit expansion of President Biden. It is part of the Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act. According the FingerLakes1, the bill has passed the House with bipartisan support and guarantees a $2000 fully refundable from $2000 partly refundable child tax credit in the next few years. This change implies more cash back into the families’ pockets.

However, the bill is facing an obstruction in the Senate despite a strong start. The Republicans are raising concerns concerning the refundable nature of the credit. They are criticizing its “look-back provision” which could provide a higher credit depending on the previous year’s income. The Senate Republicans are also questioning the source of funding for the bill.

Debate continues over President Biden’s proposed expansion of the child tax credit. Experts are recommending that American taxpayers do not delay filing their tax returns in anticipation of child tax credit expansion. Though it is still uncertain in the Senate, lawmakers remain positive that it will pass.

IRS guarantees taxpayers that there’s no need to worry about the impact of the proposed bill because the IRS has already placed a mechanism that will adjust the tax refunds retroactively. This guarantees the American taxpayers that they will not miss out on any potential benefits from the child tax credit expansion.
