Ahead of Tax Filing Deadline, Members Urge Hardworking Families to File Taxes
to Secure Advance Child Tax Credit Payments As Soon As Possible

(Washington, DC) – Last week more than100House Democrats answered the call of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee (DPCC) Cochairs Matt Cartwright (PA-08), Debbie Dingell (MI-12), Ted Lieu (CA-33) and Joe Neguse (CO-02) to participate in a #ChildTaxCredit Week of Action this week ahead of today's tax filing deadline. Members hosted events and engaged in online outreach across the country, urging hardworking families to file their taxes before May 17th to ensure they receive new advance monthly Child Tax Credit payments created in the American Rescue Plan.

Thanks to the American Rescue Plan, families could get monthly payments of up to $300 per child beginning as soon as July. And the best way to ensure eligible families receive accurate payments as soon as possible is to file a 2020 tax return so the IRS has the information needed to calculate and issue payments.
