Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997

Legislation in the United States devoted exclusively to lowering taxes. Among other things, it reduced the top capital gains rate to 20% from 28%, and nearly doubled the exemption from the estate tax. The Act also introduced a credit for each child under the age of 17 living at home; that is, a taxpayer could take a direct dollar-for-dollar reduction in his/her tax liability for each child subject to certain income limits.
