Proposed Expanded Child Tax Credit Would Benefit PA Families
(Harrisburg, PA) -- The families of more than 500-thousand minor children in Pennsylvania would benefit from a proposed expanded federal child tax credit. The federal legislation also calls for providing a tax break to people hurt by last year's Norfolk Southern derailment in western Pennsylvania. The new tax provisions would cost 78-billion-dollars over three years. They would be offset by ending a business tax credit passed during the pandemic that was designed to help avoid layoffs.
