The One Big Beautiful Bill Act increases the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per eligible child.
Other updates to the Child Tax Credit include:
➡️ The credit will be adjusted for inflation in future years
➡️ A valid Social Security number is required for the child
➡️ For joint filers, at least one spouse must have a valid SSN
These updates aim to clarify eligibility and streamline administration.
Call for more information, but don’t make any changes until you speak with your tax, legal, or accounting professional.
