An individual applying for a general income tax return can get more than $3,000 as a refund.

As per sources from the IRS, there has been an increase of 12% in the refund amount.
The child tax credit provides monetary assistance to eligible children of a family. This credit for children can give approximately $3,600 for each child directly into the bank accounts of the families.
The families who had to bear the expense of childcare were given the opportunity to demand at least $8,000 as tax credits which are commonly known as child and dependent care tax credits. The expenses that are covered under this scheme are housekeepers, transportation, school programs, babysitters, daycare, and day camps. Eligible people must submit a 2441 form with their returns.
This rebate can be claimed by families with early low income and who does not have any child. If they are joint filers, they will receive an amount of $27,380 and for individuals, $21,430 will be given.
