what is the child tax credit under new tax law
CTC = child tax credit. Under 2016 law, the point at which the child tax credit becomes refundable is $3,000. In 2018 law, that threshold increases to $14,600 (estimated) as the American Taxpayer Relief Act expires. About 20 percent of all CTC benefits will go to the lowest income group in 2016, but that share will plummet to just 9 percent in 2018.
