The Child Tax Credit in the November 3
Modified Version of the Build Back Better Act:
Summary Table
Updated November 4, 2021
On November 3, 2021, the House Rules Committee posted a modified version of the Build Back Better
Act (BBBA; H.R. 5376). This modified bill would extend the 2021 expansion of the child credit for one
year-2022-and would permanently make the credit fully refundable beginning in 2023. As a result of
these changes, many taxpayers in 2022 would continue to receive a monthly benefit of up to $300 per
young child (0-5 years old) and up to $250 per older child (6-17 years old). Other aspects of the proposed
credit in 2022 are similar to those in effect for 2021.
This new legislative text is the third version of the BBBA. On September 27, 2021, the House Budget
Committee reported the BBBA (H.R. 5376), which would have effectively extended the 2021 expansion
of the child credit through the end of 2025 and permanently made the credit fully refundable. (That
proposal's changes to the child credit are summarized here.) On October 28, 2021, the House Rules
Committee posted a modified version of this bill text that reflected the White House's framework released
the same day.
The November 3 legislation's child credit provisions are similar to those in the House Budget Committee
reported BBBA (September 27) and virtually identical to those in the October 28 version. Major
differences include the following:
  The 2021 expansion of the child credit (and advance payments) would be extended for
one year under the November 3 legislation-2022-as opposed to through the end of
2025 under the House Budget Committee reported bill. (Monthly determination of
eligibility and modified administration of the advance payments that was included in the
September 27 bill is not included in the November 3 text.)
  Advance payments of the 2022 credit would generally only be issued to taxpayers with
incomes under $150,000 if married filing jointly or income under $112,500 if a head of
household filer under the November 3 legislation, as opposed to the House Budget
Committee reported bill.
