Happy New Year to everyone here. May we all have a season without too much turmoil. Enjoy the last deep breath before the onslaught.

The credit has been based on a max of $3k in child care expenses per child (up to two) since 2001, so you are right that it hasn't kept up with inflation. Actually, it didn't cover the cost of care in 2001 either. A look into the Congressional Record shows that there were (and are) policymakers who balked at adjusting the amount because they believed that mothers should stay home to care for their children. Well, that worked in 1901, and maybe 1951, but here we are in 2025.

So, we have come full circle once again. I hope that you all have a productive and prosperous New Year. I believe it may be a difficult one as mine is already starting out that way with two days to go. Phone, text and cell have all been busy already. They just don't want to let me get away. I have signed on for another year and am looking at other options going forward. Health and time will be the deciding factors. I want to thank you all sincerely for all the help that you have given me and I want to wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year 2025.

Happy New Year Catherine...

I am getting whiplash trying to keep up with whether I do or do not have to file this.

Our government is nuts !!!

The first thing is that the anchor that presented this did not tell viewers that IRS would be sending payments automatically, and I really don't want to have to waste time on questions and conversations again to prove that they already got it and aren't entitled to more!

<<<<<I wonder if this will end up in the Supreme Court sometime next year?>>>>>> That's a great question. The order for the stay states the federal government has present a substantially strong case supporting the CTA and BOI is not unconstitutional and most likely will succeed. I don't think that honest small businesses that have been around for a while have anything to worry about. I have filed a few of these prior to the injunction and held the rest. After filing the few, the IRS already has all of the information. I wonder what the companies have done or are in the practice of doing that has caused them to file the lawsuits claiming unconstitutionality.
