But on Tuesday, when Sen. Sherrod Brown, a Democrat from Ohio and ranking member of the Senate Banking Committee, asked Rettig if the IRS would be ready to start monthly child tax credit payments in July, he had a simple answer.
“We are,” Rettig said. “If we end up not being on track for some unforeseen situation we will advise you and the committee.”
The full credit is available to individuals who have children and adjusted gross income of less than $75,000, or $150,000 for a married couple filing jointly. The benefit will begin to phase out for taxpayers who make more money, and end for individuals earning $95,000 and married couples earning $170,000 filing jointly.
