US Treasury Proposes Limits on Refundable Tax Credits for Some Non-Citizens
The US Treasury and IRS have proposed new rules limiting the refundable portion of four federal tax credits—the child tax credit, earned income tax credit, American opportunity tax credit, and adoption tax credit—to US citizens, nationals, and qualified non-citizens such as green card holders, refugees, and asylees. This proposal, announced on August 19, aims to clarify the application of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996, treating refundable tax credits as federal public benefits. The rules are pending finalization and would apply to tax years after their publication.
