The LIFT Act, also known as Bill 117 hr 2634, is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The purpose of this bill is to provide tax relief for middle and lower-income families by expanding tax credits and deductions.

The bill also proposes increasing the Child Tax Credit, which provides financial support to families with children.

This includes streamlining the process for claiming the EITC and making it easier for individuals to access the benefits they are entitled to. Overall, the LIFT Act is focused on providing tax relief to middle and lower-income families in order to help them make ends meet and improve their financial stability. The bill has received bipartisan support in Congress and is currently being considered for passage.
