Tax Credits for Children: $500 Payments and $175 in Tax Credits

In New Mexico state, a child tax credit rebate has been created that is worth $175 per child.

Worker families in New Mexico will benefit financially from a bill passed by the state.

State governments are now responsible for extending the child tax credit as Congress did not extend it, according to Fingerlakes.

A bill was passed on Feb. 14 that offers tax relief worth $380 million.

With the new child tax credit, residents can get a tax rebate of up to $175 for each child.

In 2021, the amount will be $3,600 for children under the age of 6 and $3,000 for children between 6-17.

Parents had received the first half of the credit from July to December, and the second half will be sent out along with tax refunds.
