Provides child tax credit for taxpayers with children ages six to 11 and increases amount of credit for taxpayers with children under 12 over period of two years.
Impact
Under the provisions set forth in Senate Bill S3674, eligible taxpayers with an income up to $80,000 can claim increased tax credits for each qualifying child. For taxpayers with children under six, the credit will rise from $500 to as much as $1,000 over the specified time frame. Similarly, families with children aged six to eleven will receive a credit starting at $500, gradually increasing to $600 starting January 1, 2025. These changes are designed to offer immediate financial support and relief to families navigating challenging economic conditions.
Summary
Senate Bill S3674 introduces a child tax credit aimed at providing financial relief to low-income families with children aged six to eleven. The bill expands the New Jersey Child Tax Credit program, originally limited to children under age six, allowing families with older children to benefit as well. The bill proposes to increase the credit amount over a two-year period, acknowledging the financial pressures faced by families and aiming to enhance child welfare in the state.
Contention
The bill is positioned as a positive reform by its sponsors, aiming to alleviate the financial burden on families. However, potential points of contention may arise regarding the sufficiency of this support, given the rising costs of living and economic disparities. Furthermore, discussions may emerge around the necessity of increased funding to support the anticipated rise in credits claimed, as well as the administrative capacity of the Division of Taxation to manage and report on the increased number of claims effectively.
