Filing taxes in 2026? How new rules could mean bigger refunds
Average federal tax refunds are projected to rise to about $3,800 due to retroactive provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts Act, boosting take-home pay nationwide.
- Americans can expect an average increase of $1,000 in their tax refunds this year, according to the White House's projections of an additional $100 billion for the 2026 tax season, due to President Trump's tax legislation.
- The Treasury Department projects that the total refunds will reach $429 billion this year, a significant increase from $329 billion last year.
- Key provisions, including an increased state and local tax deduction cap, are expected to contribute to the larger refunds this season, according to the Tax Foundation.
- Approximately 60% of U.S. households typically receive refunds, but those who do are projected to see markedly larger amounts, reflecting the impact of Trump's tax overhaul.
