This bill would let Missouri families get more money back from taxes, even if they owe very little, helping them pay for daily needs.

Our take

What we think, in plain words.

This bill would help working families in Missouri by making a tax credit refundable. This means if the credit is more than what a family owes in taxes, they would get the extra money back as a refund. This extra money could help families pay for food, rent, or other important things. Some people might worry about how this would affect the state's money, but supporters say it would put more money into the pockets of everyday people who need it most. Since this bill is still moving, now is the time to tell your lawmakers if you think families should get more money back.
