The Time Parents Bill
First-time parents get refundable tax credit
First-Time Parents Tax Credit Act
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would give a refundable tax credit to families having their first child, putting money back into their pockets.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If the bill passes, new parents could see a cash boost on their federal tax return, helping with baby expenses and easing the start of family life. The credit would cost the Treasury money, meaning other taxpayers would bear the revenue loss.
