A sweeping bipartisan tax cut package has been greenlit, promising a potential windfall for eligible Americans. Crafted by Representative Jason Smith and Senator Ron Wyden, the $79 billion tax cut package is set to expand child tax credits and resuscitate crucial business tax breaks, impacting 16 million families, according to PBS.

The Impact on Families
Parents and business owners stand to benefit significantly from the passage of this transformative tax cut package. Eligible families, numbering 16 million, could receive a substantial tax credit ranging from $1,800 to $2,000, contingent on specific criteria.
However, potential beneficiaries must understand that this tax cut package doesn’t reach the heightened levels of the pandemic-era child tax credit. The phased increase in credits, coming to $2,000 per child in 2025, reflects a strategic timeline.
To unlock these benefits, taxpayers must already receive the credits, and only children possessing social security numbers are eligible. Notably, undocumented immigrants should be covered under this ambitious bill.

Business Boosts and Beyond
This tax cut package extends its influence beyond families, offering a boon for businesses. Implementing three tax breaks, it charts a bipartisan course, aiming to develop tax breaks for businesses through 2025 and fostering benefits for trade with Taiwan.
The package also introduces flexibility for businesses in determining deductible borrowing, provides tax benefits for those impacted by natural disasters, and strengthens the low-income housing tax credit, potentially adding 200,000 housing units nationwide, as ABC 7 New York reported.
