Petrik proposed two refundable state tax credits to benefit children in families with income below $85,000, the top of the $65,000 to $85,000 range at which the child tax credits phase out. Policy Matters said they are calling on the governor and the General Assembly to “take action and pass a thriving families tax credit.”
Under the federal expanded child tax credit that expired in January, households who made $150,000 or less received $3,600 in per-child tax credits for children under 6, and $3,000 per child for those between ages 6 and 17.
None of which will be implemented.
