The U.S. Congress is looking at passing extensions to business tax credits from their 2017 tax bill.

Healthy businesses are important, but so are healthy families. And, as it happens, money in family pockets grows sales and profits, too!

Any tax bill this fall must include expansions of the Child Tax Credit and the Earned Income Tax Credit. It’s good for business and good for families.
