Family First Act

This bill would permanently expand the Child Tax Credit to provide $4,200 per year for each child under age 6 and $3,000 per year for each child ages 6-17. It also creates a new $2,800 credit for pregnant mothers with unborn children at 20 weeks gestation or more, requiring physician certification of gestational age. Both credits phase out for higher-income taxpayers, with the Child Tax Credit phasing out at $400,000 for joint filers and $200,000 for other taxpayers. The bill would affect low and middle-income families with children, particularly those with young children or who are pregnant, with changes applying to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025.
