For the 2025 tax year, the CTC is seeing changes as part of President Trump’s tax and spending bill, often referred to as the “ big beautiful bill.” The legislation, enacted on July 4, 2025, increases the maximum credit from $2,000 to $2,200 per child and indexes the amount to inflation.

Not all of the credit is refundable, but a significant portion still is. The IRS says the refundable share of the Child Tax Credit will be $1,700 for 2026, unchanged from 2025.
