The Senate Finance Committee’s newly released Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes an amendment filed by Senators Dean Heller and Tim Scott of South Carolina, that would increase the child tax credit to $2,000. The current child tax credit is $1,000, and the previous version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act increased the child tax credit to $1,650. Heller says giving middle-class families the biggest tax cut possible has been his first priority in tax reform, and an enhanced child tax credit is a significant way to deliver this much-needed and overdue relief to thousands of Nevada families.
