Nationwide Support: Child Tax Credits Expand Across States in 2024, Boosting Family Finances
State-Level Assistance: Minnesota, California, and Wisconsin Lead the Way in Child Tax Credit Enhancements
Child tax credits will be available in many states in 2024, providing additional funds to families with children. Significant assistance is being provided by states such as Minnesota, California, and Wisconsin, in addition to the federal government. For instance, according to Minnesota officials, families may get approximately $1,200 for per child, with about 300,000 families being eligible. Families with children under six may qualify for up to $1,000 in California if they earn less than $25,000. Under a new proposal being introduced by Wisconsin, families will receive anywhere from $2,000 to $3,500 for a single child and much more for two or more.

State-Specific Guidelines: Varying Eligibility Criteria and Financial Requirements for Child Tax Credit Programs Across the U.S.
Depending on where you live, these state programs have varied guidelines and financial requirements. Families earning less than $6,000 in Maryland could get $500 for each child under the age of 17. Oregon provides $1,000 for each under-five child in households with less than $30,000. Instead of restricting its program to children aged 4 and above, New York now accepts children under the age of 4. Families should check with their state’s tax office to determine if they qualify and how to obtain the funds required for their children as more states join the program.
