Congressman Biggs Highlights Savings Under Republican Tax Bill

WASHINGTON, D.C.- Today, millions of Americans are marking Tax Day 2026 with increased tax benefits and savings thanks to the Working Family Tax Cuts Act passed by Republicans in Congress and signed into law by President Trump last year. According to the White House, more than 53 million filers have claimed at least one of the new tax cuts from the legislation, and the average refund has put 11 percent more money than the previous year back into the pockets of hardworking Americans.

Arizonans have benefited greatly from the historic tax cuts bills. Thanks to this legislation, many Arizonans have seen a substantial increase in wages, and 133,000 jobs have been protected. Well over a million Arizona seniors stand to benefit from the no-tax-on-Social Security provision. Approximately two-thirds of workers across the state are likely employed in overtime-eligible occupations, which could allow them to take advantage of the no-tax-on-overtime provision. Three percent of Arizona laborers could be eligible for the provision that exempts tips from taxes.

“Throughout my time in Congress, I have been pleased to vote on two major tax cut laws that return money to where it belongs: the American people,”said Congressman Biggs. "The Working Family Tax Cuts Act was historic legislation that provided benefits to Americans where they needed it most – an expanded standard deduction, a larger Child Tax Credit, the elimination of taxes on overtime and tips, and a new bonus deduction for Social Security recipients. Republicans are taking action to protect the interests and future of Americans, as we seek to expand opportunities and savings for all.”
