(Doug Mills-Pool\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>How Much Will Families Get?<\/h4>\n<p>Eligible parents are able to receive $3,600 a year for each child under six and $3,000 for each child under 18 for 2021, according to the bill\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/bill\/117th-congress\/house-bill\/1319\/text#toc-HB3A05033B2D04C84A0E86379665CB4B8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">text<\/a>. Payments will be monthly, totaling $300 for families with younger children and $250 for families with older ones.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike previous credits, this one is fully refundable, meaning families are eligible to receive it even if they do not have an earned income or do not owe federal income taxes.<\/p>\n<p>The Child Tax Credit extension is also an expansion, since under previous credits families could only receive up to $2,000 per child per year.<\/p>\n<h4>Who Is Eligible?<\/h4>\n<p>Individuals with an income under $75,000 who filed a single tax return are eligible for the full credit, as are married couples with a collective income under $150,000 who filed jointly and those with an income under $112,500 and filed as their \u201chead of household.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Those payments begin to phase out for higher incomes and drop to zero at $240,000 for unmarried taxpayers and $440,000 for married couples, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/crsreports.congress.gov\/product\/pdf\/IN\/IN11613\">Congressional Research Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The I.R.S\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/credits-deductions\/advance-child-tax-credit-eligibility-assistant\">\u201celigibility assistant\u201d tool<\/a> helps determine who is eligible, though those using it will need to provide tax documents like a W-2 or 1099.<\/p>\n<p>Content created by The Daily Caller News Foundation is available without charge to any eligible news publisher that can provide a large audience.
