The Credit Forever Bill
Idaho bill would keep child tax credit forever
Amends existing law to extend the Child Tax Credit indefinitely.
Good for everyday people ·
If passed, families with kids would keep getting a tax credit forever, lowering their taxes each year.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This could help families afford basics, but it also means the state collects less money, which may affect other services.
