2021 Enhanced Child Tax Credit
2021 Enhanced Child Tax Credit
On March 11, 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (No. 117-2). Under this Coronavirus relief package, the child tax credit was expanded. The previous credit of $2,000 per child under the age of 17 increased to $3,000 for children ages 6-17 (17-year-olds became eligible), and $3,600 for children under the age of 6. A portion of these tax credits were paid in advance unless you opted out of the payments or weren’t eligible. They are also fully refundable, meaning any credits not used by the taxpayer will be paid out to them.

Heads Up to Students Planning to Attend College Next Year
According to a StarTribune article published December 19, the number of high school seniors who have filed a FAFSA form – the Free Application for Federal Student Aid – was down 14 percent over this time last year. The FAFSA became available on October 1, and while there is still time to submit it, the earlier a student files the form the better.
The FAFSA is the portal to federal grants and loans as well as financial aid from states and individual colleges. Another important thing to keep in mind is that some states and colleges have earlier deadlines for scholarships applications (which often require a FAFSA form). These scholarships are often awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. So the sooner a student completes the form, the more likely they are to receive scholarship funds.
Some experts believe the shift to virtual learning has hampered students’ ability to file timely FAFSAs. … Read More
