Miller-Meeks: Working Families Tax Cuts Put More Money Back in Iowa Parents’ Pockets

IOWA - Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks today highlighted provisions of the Working Families Tax Cuts, legislation she supported that was signed into law by President Donald J. Trump and is now delivering tax relief for families across Iowa.

The law permanently expands the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per child, providing direct relief to help families cover the everyday costs of raising children. The legislation also establishes $1,000 investment accounts for children born between 2025 and 2028, allowing parents, grandparents, and guardians to contribute up to $5,000 annually to help build long-term savings for the next generation.

The tax relief is designed to help more middle-class families qualify for meaningful support while keeping more of their hard-earned money in local communities.

Rep. Miller-Meeks issued the following statement:

“As a mother and now a new grandmother, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to raise a family while managing rising costs. Expanding the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per child provides real relief to help families cover everyday expenses like groceries, school supplies, and childcare.

“Growing up as one of eight children, I learned early on that every dollar matters. The Working Families Tax Cuts help ensure more families can keep more of what they earn while strengthening our communities and supporting small businesses.

“I will continue fighting in Congress to lower costs, strengthen families, and ensure the next generation of Iowans has every opportunity to succeed.”
