How some tax refunds are sent out to change this year
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act will deliver an average tax cut of $3,750 per filer and $100 billion in refunds to American households, aiming to boost economic growth.

- Federal Reserve officials say inflation should fall closer to 2 percent over the coming year, while Kent Smetters projects refunds will nudge inflation by about zero in the second and third quarters.
