## Summary

**A new tax credit of $1,250 per eligible new parent** would give parents a direct tax break after a birth or adoption. The credit would double to $2,500 when two eligible parents file a joint return and would apply to tax years beginning after December 31, 2025. - Families with a newborn or adopted child: Eligible custodial parents who have not claimed the credit before could claim $1,250 for the taxable year the child is born or adopted. - Non-custodial parents: A non-custodial parent whose name appears on the child’s birth certificate could claim the credit for a child born or adopted in the prior taxable year even if they cannot claim the child as a qualifying child. - Joint filers: When both parents meet the eligibility rules and file jointly the credit doubles to a combined $2,500.

## Provisions PRIA read

- One-time tax credit for new parents: benefit, high. If enacted, this would create a one-time credit to lower your federal income tax. It would be $1,250 per eligible new parent, or $2,500 if two eligible new parents file a joint return. You would qualify if you are the parent of a child born or adopted this year, under IRS “qualifying child” rules.…
