Expand EITC, Child Tax Credit, and R&D Tax Credit
Expand Pro-Work Tax Credits: Together the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Child Tax Credit (CTC) help keep millions of families from falling into poverty and enable many parents to afford childcare, which allows them to work
and provide for their families. Kamala supports expanding these credits and the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which helps pay for college.
Research & Development Tax Credit: In 2014, Congress let the Research and Development Tax Credits expire, a key tool that helps spur innovation in the private sector. But despite bipartisan support, for months Washington failed to extend it.
Kamala supports expanding the research and development tax credit and rewarding businesses that invest in science and technology research.
