The Extend Child Bill
Idaho bill would extend child tax credit, change tax rates
Amends and repeals existing law to revise the income tax rate, to extend the child tax credit indefinitely, and to repeal the Parental Choice Tax Credit.
Mixed: some good, some bad ·
If passed, the bill would keep the child tax credit forever, change income tax rates, and end the parental choice credit, affecting family tax bills.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Families could see steady help from the child credit, but might pay more if the new tax rates raise their bills, and they lose the parental credit.
