  Child Tax Credit – Will it Go Beyond This Year? Let’s talk the child tax credit . As of now, the child tax credit  expansion only applies to this year. Now, that does have the possibility of changing in the future. Some congressional Democrats would like to see this enhancement made permanent.

  3rd Stimulus Check – How Does it Differ From the First 2 One of the main topics surrounding the 3rd stimulus check is  overpayments and what to do with them. Families in 2021 with an AGI below $40,000 on a single return or $50,000 on head of household and 60,000 as joint won’t have to repay the credit overpayments that they get.
