Plain-English Summary

This bill would allow families living in Puerto Rico to claim the federal child tax credit, a tax break that reduces what families owe based on the number of children they have. Currently, Puerto Rican residents are largely excluded from this benefit even though they pay some federal taxes, so this change would put them on more equal footing with families in the 50 states. The bill would primarily help lower and middle-income Puerto Rican families reduce their tax burden.
