What this bill would do

This bill, known as the Child Tax Credit Relief for Puerto Rican Families Act, seeks to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. The primary goal is to provide equitable treatment for residents of Puerto Rico regarding the refundable portion of the child tax credit. It accomplishes this by amending section 24(d)(1) of the code. Additionally, it modifies the definition of social security taxes used for calculating the refundable portion of the credit. These changes are intended to apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.
