credit, according to

Doug Shulman, commissioner of the IRS, said the the additional credit will
automatically start showing up in taxpayers’ paychecks in the spring.
‘Since employers and payroll companies will handle this change, people
typically won’t need to take any additional action. The IRS will continue
working to implement this and other provisions of the new law as quickly as
possible,’ he said in a statement.
