Having finally received my tax refund including the HCTC credit, I also am interested in this question.
With some searching, there appear to be 2 efforts to extend the HCTC:
HR 1939:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-con ... /1939/text This bill would simply replace 1/1/2020 with 1/1/2025, thus extending the HCTC for 5 years.
Introduced in March 2019
HR 3301:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-con ... 30EBD54B83 This bill would extend the HCTC until 1/1/2021, a 1 year extension.
It looks like HR 3301 is out of committee, and the next step appears to be a vote in the House. It is a small
part of a larger Disaster and Tax Relief bill. The sponsor of HR 1939 is urging the 5 year extension, but that
bill has not advanced, as near as I can tell.
Anyway, 1 year is better than none. If you are motivated, I think it would be helpful to urge your representative to support both bills.
Many representatives have websites which can be used to voice your support. Try
