President Biden on #TaxDay 2021:"The American Rescue Plan is delivering critical tax relief to middle class and hard-pressed working families with children.With today’s announcement, about 90% of families with children will get this new tax relief automatically,starting in July."

Biden: "While the American Rescue Plan provides for this vital tax relief to hard working families for this year, Congress must pass the American Families Plan to ensure that working families will be able to count on this relief for years to come."

Biden: "For working families with children, this tax cut sends a clear message: help is here."

House Ways and Means Cmte Chair Neal: "The American Rescue Plan delivered the immediate relief our country needed to get through the darkest days of the pandemic, and is providing the sustained support for the better days that we know are coming."

Chair Neal (D-MA): "Now, every month, millions of families will receive more meaningful support thanks to the expanded Child Tax Credit."

Chair Neal (D-MA): "The Biden Administration worked tirelessly to get this program up and running in a matter of a few short months, and I am so grateful for their partnership in working to cut child poverty in half."

Chair Neal (D-MA): "But now that nearly 90 percent of our nation’s children will benefit from this critical lifeline, we must make this change permanent. Millions of families are counting on us, and the Ways and Means Committee stands ready to make it happen."

House Ways & Means Ranking Member Brady: "Today on Tax Day, for a third year in a row, Americans will again have an easier time filing their taxes thanks to Republicans’ Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA)."

Brady (R-TX): "Unfortunately, President Biden pledged to repeal the entirety of that law—creating tax filing headaches for millions of Americans and reversing the tax cuts that help workers, families, and small businesses."

Brady (R-TX): "Biden’s list of potential tax increases would harm low- and middle-income workers, small businesses, and seniors who rely on savings and Social Security."

Pelosi: “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden and Congressional Democrats, nearly 40 million families with children will soon have critical financial relief that will help sustain them during the pandemic and in the days ahead.”

Pelosi: “Democrats’ American Rescue Plan is making a dramatic difference in the lives of America’s working families, particularly for America’s children, as it helps cut child poverty in half.”

Pelosi: “Nearly 90 percent of our nation’s children will benefit from the expanded Child Tax Credit alone, with families receiving up to $300 per child each month.”

Pelosi:”The success of this Tax Credit is a testament to House Democrats’ relentlessness in fighting for its inclusion in the Rescue Plan & in ensuring families receive its benefits, including through last week’s Week of Action on the Child Tax Credit, led by more than 140 Mbrs.”

Pelosi calls to make the expansion of the child tax credit permanent: “We must make this lifeline permanent, which is why Congressional Democrats will continue to champion an expanded Child Tax Credit – because we can only Build Back Better by putting families first.”
