The Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides the largest Child Tax Credit ever and historic relief to the most working families ever – and as of July 15^th, most families are automatically receiving monthly payments of $250 or $300 per child without having to take any action. The Child Tax Credit will help all families succeed.

The American Rescue Plan increased the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 per child to $3,000 per child for children over the age of six and from $2,000 to $3,600 for children under the age of six, and raised the age limit from 16 to 17. All working families will get the full credit if they make up to $150,000 for a couple or $112,500 for a family with a single parent (also called Head of Household).

Major tax relief for nearly

all working families:

The Child Tax Credit in the American Rescue Plan provides the largest child tax credit ever and historic relief to the most working families ever.

Automatic monthly payments for nearly all working families

If you’ve filed tax returns for 2019 or 2020, or if you signed up to receive a stimulus check from the Internal Revenue Service, you will get this tax relief automatically. You do not need to sign up or take any action.

President Biden’s Build Back Better agenda calls for extending this tax relief for years and years

The new Child Tax Credit enacted in the American Rescue Plan is only for 2021. That is why President Biden strongly believes that we should extend the new Child Tax Credit for years and years to come. That’s what he proposes in his Build Back Better Agenda.

Easy sign up for low-income families to reduce child poverty

If you don’t make enough to be required to file taxes, you can still get benefits.

The Administration collaborated with a non-profit, Code for America, who created a non-filer sign-up tool that is easy to use on a mobile phone and also available in Spanish. The deadline to sign up for monthly Child Tax Credit payments this year was November 15. If you are eligible for the Child Tax Credit but did not sign up for monthly payments by the November 15 deadline, you can still claim the full credit of up to $3,600 per child by filing your taxes next year.

The American Rescue Plan increased the Child Tax Credit and expanded its coverage to better assist families who care for children.

Overview

The American Rescue Plan’s expansion of the Child Tax Credit will reduced child poverty by (1) supplementing the earnings of families receiving the tax credit, and (2) making the credit available to a significant number of new families. Specifically, the Child Tax Credit was revised in the following ways for 2021:

The credit amount was increased for 2021. The American Rescue Plan increased the amount of the Child Tax Credit from $2,000 to $3,600 for qualifying children under age 6, and $3,000 for other qualifying children under age 18.
The credit was made fully refundable. By making the Child Tax Credit fully refundable, low- income households will be entitled to receive the full credit benefit, as significantly expanded and increased by the American Rescue Plan.
The credit’s scope has been expanded. The American Rescue Plan allowed 17-year-olds to qualify for the Child Tax Credit. Previously, only children 16 and younger qualified.
Many eligible taxpayers received monthly advance payments of half of their estimated 2021 Child Tax Credit amounts during 2021 from July through December. Families caring for children were able to receive financial assistance on a consistent monthly basis from July to December 2021, instead of waiting until tax filing season to receive all of their Child Tax Credit benefits.

File your taxes to get your full Child Tax Credit — now through April 18, 2022. Get help filing your taxes and find more information about the 2021 Child Tax Credit.

In addition, the American Rescue Plan extended the full Child Tax Credit permanently to Puerto Rico and the U. S. Territories. For the first time, low- income families residing in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Territories will receive this vital financial assistance to better support their children’s development and health and educational attainment.

Tax deduction - Medline Clinic in Barnaul

Have you paid taxes? Take them back to the state!

A significant part of the Russian population pays taxes. However, this amount can be reduced. There is a tax deduction for this. What's this? When making such a deduction, the state reduces the amount from which taxes are paid. It is also called the return of a certain part of the previously paid personal income tax (personal income tax) when buying real estate, spending on treatment or training. It is important to note that you can get a tax deduction not only when paying for your examinations and medicines. The tax is returned even from the amount of expenses for the treatment of close relatives

What expenses can be included in the deduction for treatment

The following expenses can be included in the deduction:

Medical services - tests, examinations, doctor's appointments, procedures in paid clinics. Provided that you paid for it, that is, the services are not under the CHI policy, but at your expense.
Prescribed medicines. Starting in 2019, you can get a deduction for the cost of any drug, not just those on the government's list.
Expensive treatment. This is the only type of medical expenses for which there is no limit: any amount is accepted for deduction without restrictions. Types of expensive treatment are in a special list, this is followed by a medical organization when it issues a certificate of the cost of services.
Contributions under the VHI agreement.

Relatives for which the deduction for treatment is given

The deduction for treatment can be received not only when paying for your examinations and medicines. The tax is returned even from the amount of expenses for the treatment of close relatives, but not any, but only from a limited list.

Here is a complete list of relatives whose treatment can be included in your tax deduction:

Parents. The deduction will be given only when paying for the treatment of their parents. If you pay for the spouse's parents or adoptive parents, the tax will not be refunded. There are no parental requirements. They can work under an employment contract, or they can be pensioners, unemployed or self-employed individual entrepreneurs.
Children or wards under 18 years of age. The deduction for treatment is only for your children. If you pay for tests and examinations of your spouse's children, even when they are fully supported, personal income tax cannot be returned. There is also an important condition regarding age: the child must be no more than 18 years old. Moreover, the fact of studying at a full-time university does not extend this age to 24 years: this is possible with education, but with treatment - only up to 18 years.
Spouses. If a husband pays for his wife, he can get a deduction. And the wife will return the tax when paying for the treatment of her husband. But the marriage must be officially registered. A certificate of payment for medical services and checks for the purchase of drugs can be issued to any spouse: their expenses are still considered general.

You cannot get a deduction for other relatives. Unlike training, there are no siblings on this list. If you pay for dental treatment or surgery for your sister, you will not receive a deduction. For grandparents, common-law spouse, children of the wife from the first marriage, nephews or mother-in-law, the tax cannot be refunded.

The list of relatives is closed and there can be no additional conditions.

How to return money for treatment

How much money can be returned when paying for the treatment of relatives

Cost limit. The deduction for treatment has a limit - 120,000 R per year. This is a general limit for several social deductions, for example, it also includes tuition costs. 120,000 R is a restriction not for each type of expense, but for all.

Here are the expenses that will be included in the limit:

Training.
Treatment.
DMS.
Voluntary contributions to pensions.
Voluntary life insurance.
Additional contributions to the funded part of the pension.
Independent qualification assessment.

When paying for the treatment of relatives, an additional deduction will not be given: both your own and their expenses must be included in this limit.

120,000 R does not include only the cost of educating children - there is a separate limit of 50,000 R for each child - and expensive types of treatment that are accepted for deduction without taking into account the limit. There is also a social deduction for charity, but it has separate conditions and the limit is calculated as a percentage.

How much money will be returned

The amount of the deduction depends on your salary and the cost of treatment. In any case, the tax office will not return more money than the personal income tax paid for the year. Let's look at an example:

Vasily works as a manager and receives 40,000 R per month. In a year, he earned 480,000 R. He gives 13% of his salary to the state as a tax (personal income tax). For the year he paid 480,000 × 0.13 = 62,400 R.

In 2015, he spent 80,000 RUR on treatment. Vasily collected documents and applied for a tax deduction. After submitting the application, the tax authority will deduct the amount of treatment from Vasily’s income for the year and recalculate his personal income tax: (480,000 − 80,000) × 0.13 = 52,000 R.

It turns out that Vasily had to pay 52,000 R, but in fact he paid 62,400 R. The tax office will return the overpayment to him: 62,400 − 52,000 = 10,400 R.

The deduction can be made within three years following the year of treatment payment.

This money will go directly to the card, but you will have to wait.

How to draw up documents if you pay for relatives

For your spouse. When paying for the treatment of a husband or wife, documents can be issued to anyone. The contract and receipts can be in the name of the husband or wife, it does not matter for the deduction. It is believed that they have everything in common. The same expenses can be deducted by either spouse, but only by one. They can also be divided among themselves, this helps to return more tax, taking into account the limit.

For children and parents. Payment documents must be issued to the person who pays and wants to receive a deduction. If receipts and a certificate are issued to the mother, the son will not be given a deduction for these expenses. Although you can try to resolve this issue with the help of a conventional written power of attorney. The contract for medical services should contain a wording from which it is clear that it is concluded with this person - the one who claims the deduction - for the treatment of this relative. But if this did not work out, this usually does not interfere with the return of the tax. The tax first of all looks at payment documents and a certificate. This is really important.

How to return personal income tax from the costs of treatment for the past year

For the past year, you can return the tax only on the declaration. Through the employer return only in the current year.

Here is the instruction:

Get medical bills. This is a special document, it must be issued by the organization to which you paid for the treatment. Now everything is stored electronically, so usually you don’t even need to show receipts. The help will indicate the code - "1" or "2". If it is "1", then you need to take into account the limit, if "2" - the entire amount will be deducted.
Make copies of documents that confirm your relationship: birth and marriage certificates.
Fill out the 3-personal income tax declaration in your personal account on the nalog.ru website. It can be filled out in a special program or handed in on paper, but through the site - this is the easiest, fastest and most convenient way that will insure you against mistakes and speed up the verification. Scans or photographs of documents must be attached to the declaration.

To receive documents for a tax deduction, you can apply to the administrator-cashier at our Center or send a request electronically by filling out the form below.

What benefits social entrepreneurs can receive

In 2019, the Federal Law was adopted establishing the definition and procedure for recognizing SMEs as social entrepreneurs.

Special attention is paid to social entrepreneurship in the national project to support SMEs.

The Federal Law “On the Development of Small and Medium Enterprises” defines social business. Those entrepreneurs whose work is aimed at:

• providing employment and support to the disabled, the elderly and people in difficult life situations;

• improvement of living conditions for citizens;

• empowering citizens to meet their basic living needs.

Social entrepreneurs can receive tax preferences, a loan at a minimum annual interest rate, preferential lease terms for state and municipal property, as well as information support. To receive these benefits, it is necessary to recognize the business as social.

In order to receive state support, it is also possible to employ those who belong to socially vulnerable categories. There must be at least 50% of such employees, and their salary must be at least 25% of the wage fund. You can get information about the package of documents for obtaining social status on the portal for small and medium-sized businesses, as well as in the My Business centers.
