In 2025, Congress grapples with potential cuts to the child tax credit and debates reforms to the earned income tax credit, which could influence family financial support and decisions about work and marriage.
Congress Faces Crucial Decisions on Tax Credits Impacting Families in 2025
According to the Washington Examiner, in 2025, Congress will decide on changes to tax laws that affect how much families pay. One big issue is the child tax credit, which helps parents by reducing taxes. If Congress doesn’t act, this credit could be cut in half. There’s debate about whether to give this credit to everyone, even if they don’t pay taxes.
Another topic is the earned income tax credit, which gives money to people who work, especially those with children. But some say it discourages marriage because married couples get less money than unmarried ones. Lawmakers are trying to find a fair way to fix this without spending too much money.
