The Child Tax Credit
Submitted by Adam on Tue, 2003-06-03 18:47
Neil Steyskal writes "The Senate is scrambling to expand the child tax credit because it was left out of the recent tax-cut legislation. This is a good opportunity to highlight the tax code's bias against fathers. Send a letter to your local newspaper. Here's mine to the Washington Post (letters@washpost.com).
To the Editor:
If senators are really concerned about those who miss out on the child tax credit, they will provide for fathers to be eligibile, not just mothers ("Senators Rush to Propose Expanded Child Tax Credit," June 3). Currently a noncustodial father may not take the child tax credit even when he provides a majority of the child's support.
Sincerely,
Neil Steyskal
