H.R.7024 - Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act of 2024. This bill increases and modifies child tax credit provisions, increases depreciation allowances to promote economic innovation and growth, provides special rules for the taxation of residents of Taiwan with income from U.S. sources, increases tax relief provisions for losses due to natural disasters and wildfires, and increases the low-income housing tax credit ceiling to 12.5% for calendar years 2023-2025. It also lowers the bond-financing threshold to 30% for projects financed by bonds issued before 2026. Introduced in House on Jan. 17, 2024. S.3436/H.R.6686: Workforce Housing Tax Credit Act - This bill would help to close this gap by establishing the first-ever middle-income housing tax credit, which is estimated to finance approximately 344,000 affordable rental homes. To qualify for the credit, at least 60% of the buildings units must be occupied by individuals with area median incomes of 100% or less where the rents are restricted to 30% of the designated income. The affordability restrictions would remain in place for up to 15 years after the compliance period (for a total 30-year affordability period). The legislation also provides flexibility so that states can maximize their resources and best meet community housing needs by allowing housing finance agencies to transfer their middle-income allocation to their Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) allocation at any time. It also allows buildings to combine the two credits to help make more low-income housing projects financially feasible. S.722/H.R.1477 - Freedom To Invest in Tomorrow's Workforce Act. This bill would expand eligible uses of tax-favorable 529 savings plans to cover costs associated with workforce training and credentialing programs, such as professional certifications. This bill would provide valuable tax-advantaged resources for workers who pursue career growth, mid-career changes or alternative career pathways. Introduced by Representatives Robert Wittman (R-VA) & Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) and Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Mike Braun (R-IN). S.1557/H.R.3238 - Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act of 2023. This bill would support the development of nearly 2 million new affordable homes over the next decade by expanding and strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (Housing Credit). Introduced by U.S. Representatives Darin LaHood (R-IL) and Suzan DelBene (D-WA), and Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Todd Young (R-IN). S.680 - Decent, Affordable, Safe Housing for All (DASH) Act. This bill proposes a generational investment to house all people experiencing homelessness, tackle the housing affordability crisis, and expand homeownership opportunities for young people by creating a new down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers. Specifically, the bill would: 1. House everyone experiencing homelessness within five years, and prioritize children and families for placement, by issuing them a Housing Choice Voucher; 2. Expand health, child care, financial and nutrition services for families and individuals to stay on a path to unassisted housing stability; 3. Greatly increase the production of deeply affordable housing for families exiting homelessness and for low-income households by investing in effective, efficient existing programs and reforming the tax code to strengthen the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) to weather the economic fallout from the pandemic, as well as establish a Renter's Tax Credit and Middle- Income Housing Tax Credit (MIHTC); 4. Invest in homeownership in underserved communities and for low-income Americans with new tax credits and downpayment assistance, including a down payment tax credit for first-time homebuyers; and 5. Incentivize environmentally-friendly development strategies and land use policies. Introduced by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR).

The act extends through 2034 the tax credit for residential clean energy, modifies the phaseout for such credit, and extends the credit to include qualified battery storage technology expenditures. The act modifies the tax deduction for energy-efficient commercial buildings to revise the maximum amount of such deduction and energy efficiency requirements for such buildings. The act extends the new energy-efficient home tax credit through 2032.
