From WAPO:
while American families receive only temporary tax relief that expires as soon as 2023 in the House bill and 2026 in the Senate bill.
In the House bill, the tax increase would mostly hit moderate and middle-income families because a credit designed to help them expires after five years. But in the Senate plan, released late Tuesday, virtually all Americans would face higher tax rates because the individual income rate cuts go away entirely in 2026. The tax cuts for corporations do not expire.
What credit? The $300 additional credit for the filer, spouse, and dependants? It's not there now... So it's a 5 year bonus.
The $300 child credit is in addition to this plan raising the child credit from $1000 per child now to $1600 per child, which does not expire and is tied to inflation both now and in the new plan.
