Key Findings from National Child Tax Credit Survey

This report presents findings from a national survey of families with children ages 0-17 living at home who were eligible to receive the expanded Child Tax Credit (CTC). Conducted in October 2021, the survey asked parents questions about tax filing behavior, receipt of monthly CTC payments, how the monthly payments have impacted their family, and how families are hearing about the CTC. The survey was designed in consultation with representatives of the Children’s Defense Fund, the Center for the Study of Social Policy, the Center for Law and Social Policy, National Women’s Law Center, Prosperity Now, and the Urban Institute-Brookings Institution Tax Policy Center.
