The Child Tax Credit after ARRA: How Would Expiration Affect Metropolitan Families?
The Child Tax Credit’s $3,000 earnings threshold put into place by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is set to expire after tax year 2010. This factsheet uses our MetroTax model to estimate the number of working families that would see their Child Tax Credit (CTC) reduced or eliminated if policymakers allow the Child Tax Credit’s earnings threshold to revert to pre-ARRA levels.
The Brookings Institute released a new factsheet titled “The Child Tax Credit after ARRA: How Would Expiration Affect Metropolitan Families?”
