Child Tax Credits play a vital role in providing financial relief to many Americans, offering a refund of up to $2000 per eligible child under the age of 17. 

However, for the year 2024, not all states in the US are offering this assistance. It’s crucial to stay informed about your local state’s policies, as the availability of the credit can vary.

As of 2024, 14 out of the 50 states have embraced the Child Tax Credit. These states include California, Colorado, Idaho, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, and Vermont. 

However, it’s essential to stay updated on the news, as other states may be in the process of deliberating whether to adopt this credit into their laws.

The Child Tax Credit is a financial benefit designed to support eligible parents or guardians in covering the costs of raising children. Qualifying families can claim up to $2000 per child under 17, with an additional $600 for children under six. 

The credit is partially refundable, allowing families to receive a portion of it as a refund, even if they have minimal or no federal income tax liability. Tax laws are subject to change, so it’s advisable to regularly check for the latest information.
