On Tuesday, the Senate Republicans passed the expenditure package of President Donald Trump, which includes a larger children’s tax loan – but some families will not benefit.
According to the current laws, the maximum pediatric tax loan is $ 2,000, which will return to $ 1,000 after 2025 without any changes from the Congress. Wider income will be for sunset without extending the limits of conformity.
If it entered into force, the Senate invoice would increase the highest loan to $ 2,200 from 2025. The provision will also index this figure for inflation after 2025.
On the other hand, a large beautiful bill of invoice action with a home approved will increase the highest children’s tax loan from 2025 to 2028 from 2028 to $ 2,500. After that, the maximum value of the loan would decrease to $ 2,000 and indexed for inflation.

With the differences between the provisions of the Senate and the Assembly, it is unclear how the measure can change. The Assembly must approve the Senate’s legislation before arriving at Trump’s desk for its signature.
How to calculate a child tax loan
For 2025, the child tax loan is worth up to 2,000 dollars per 17 -year -old child with a valid social security number.
After the first $ 2,500 earnings, the child tax credit value is 15% of the corrected gross income or AGI until the tax reduction reaches $ 2,000 per child.
The tax reduction begins to emerge when it exceeds $ 400,000 for married couples who filed together, or for all other taxpayers exceeding $ 200,000.
However, “If you have a very low income, you cannot access a loan of $ 2,000,” Senior member Elaine Maag at the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center, He told CNBC before.
Reason: The child’s tax loan is only partially “refundable”, which provides a benefit after reaching $ 0. This feature usually helps the lowest winners without tax indebted.
The returnable part, known as additional children’s tax loans, up to $ 1,700 for 2025.
Who benefits from the increase in child tax loan
