According to the U.S. Sun, Maryland’s State House has made a new rule to help families with money problems. They made a special new tax credit for families with kids. This new tax credit adds to the one already given by the federal government. It means families could get up to $960 more. But to get this extra new tax credit help families must follow some rules. They must already be getting the federal child tax credit. This means they have a kid who is 17 or younger and lives with them for most of the year. And they must claim this kid on their tax forms.
