AI-generated summary. We recommend consulting the bill text for important decisions.
Utah's existing $1,000-per-child tax credit for children under six begins to phase out once a filer's income exceeds a certain threshold — this bill raises those thresholds so more families remain eligible for the full credit. Specifically, the income limits increase from $27,000 to $30,500 for married filing separately, from $43,000 to $49,000 for single or head-of-household filers, and from $54,000 to $61,000 for joint filers, with the changes applying retroactively to the 2026 tax year.
