The child tax credit would increase to $ 2,500 per child through 2028 .

Applicants must have a Social Security number to qualify for the credit.

An estimated 4.5 million children who are citizens or legal permanent residents would lose eligibility for CTC because of the bill’s requirement that both parents have Social Security numbers.

The legislation is still far from a done deal.

Buy electric vehicles this year because the $ 7,500 clean vehicle credit would expire in 2025 instead of in 2032 .

Buy energy efficient home improvements that are eligible for a 30% credit.

Hold on to your money because the estate tax exemption will not drop in 2026 .
