There are currently discussions going on in several states about the possibility of instituting a state child tax credit or providing deductions for families who have children.
Even though a new child tax credit bill is not likely to be signed into law any time soon (since it wasn’t included in the Inflation Reduction Act), several states are working on their own legislation in this regard.
Roughly sixteen states are making preparations to increase the amount of money that will be sent to families to mitigate the effects of inflation and a potential economic downturn.
