There are many tax deductions and credits that can help you reduce your tax payments or get some of that money back.

Tax incentives for pandemic payments and work

The first and perhaps most discussed issue is tax credit for children... Many families were able to receive the first half of these payments by breaking them down into 6 small advance payments. The remaining half of the payment can be claimed on the 2021 tax return.

Families with children under age 6 can receive a tax credit of $3600, and those with children ages 6 to 17 can receive a tax credit of $3000. Dependents aged 18 can qualify for $500, and dependents aged 19 to 24 are eligible for the same amount if they are attending college.

Previous tax credits prior to the American Rescue Act were $ 2000 per child.

The next important tax change to keep in mind is recovery rebate credit... It is available to those who did not receive the third check of pandemic payments or received only part of it, although they had the right to receive the entire amount and can prove this with their declaration for 2021.

Tax earned income tax credit reduces the amount of tax arrears for working families with low and middle income.
