Californians were hoping for two big tax breaks. Why aren't they getting them?
Briefly

Many members of Congress this year were eager to make both changes. But the state and local tax deduction increase, or SALT, is dead - and the expanded child credit is stalled in the Senate.
Higher income earners could get similar breaks from a bigger SALT deduction. The future for a larger child credit is more favorable with potential savings for lower-income families.
The Biden increase could save eligible California families an average of $2,980, benefiting millions of Californian adults and children, regarded as a boost for lifting children out of poverty.
Biden's proposal would increase the child tax credit to $3,600 per child under six and $3,000 for children six to 17, providing significant financial support for qualifying families.
