Families’ Experiences with the Child Tax Credit | Advancing Tax Equity through Administration Reforms and Community Partnerships

This report draws on the U.S. Census Household Pulse survey to illustrate important diversity in reported CTC-receipt by race, gender, income, family structure, and marital status among households who would be potentially eligible for CTC. We also summarize findings from in-depth interviews and focus groups with parents/caregivers, outreach workers, community organization stakeholders, and tax preparers to provide additional context on how families experience the CTC payments, the confusions families had about the expanded CTC, and the challenges and successes of reaching “the hardest to reach”, immigrant families, and “non-nuclear” families.
