White House press secretary Caroline Levitt discussed feedback from Americans regarding President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cut, highlighting that some claimed it saved them significant amounts of money.
Trump asserted that the tax cuts featured in his “One Big Beautiful Bill” would deliver “immense” advantages to filers this tax season, as noted by a report from January.
The House Ways and Means Committee suggested that filers could expect an “additional $1,000 increase in their tax refund,” a point made in a November announcement.
During a news conference on Tuesday, Levitt praised the tax cuts and shared a personal story, referring to insights from the Association for Mature American Citizenship (AMAC).
“This year is shaping up to be the biggest tax refund season in history, thanks to President Trump signing the largest middle-class tax cut ever,” she expressed. “President Trump and the Republican Party genuinely believe that Americans should retain more of their hard-earned money, not less. That’s why he strived so hard to provide this awaited relief.”
Levitt also highlighted Trump’s approach to taxing tips, overtime pay, and Social Security. She mentioned provisions like the auto loan interest deduction for new American-made cars and an increased standard deduction for child tax credits as measures that are “putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans.”
“We are receiving reports from everyday Americans nationwide about the substantial tax savings they’ve gained from the Working Families Tax Cut, which every member of Congress opposed,” she continued. “AMAC has already heard from over 1,000 members directly about how the Trump tax cuts are easing cost of living pressures.”
A couple from Wisconsin remarked, “The new tax law finally puts money in our pockets. We paid $3,700 last year and received a $2,500 refund. That’s quite a bit.”
Eric in Nevada commented on the benefits for seniors, saying, “Not having to pay taxes on Social Security is really helpful.” He added, “Eliminating taxes on tips supports my daughter, a waitress, while no taxes on overtime aid my son, who works a lot. Our family’s total savings from the BBB could exceed $5,000. We appreciate the Trump tax cuts!”
More testimonials from AMAC reveal additional seniors expressing gratitude to the president for their tax breaks.
“These are just a few instances showing how President Trump’s tax cuts are uplifting everyday Americans,” Levitt noted. “We invite Americans across the country to share their experiences with the working families tax cuts.”
AMAC reported that respondents indicated an average tax savings of $2,832, with feedback coming from all 50 states.
