IRS touts a 24% increase in tax refunds compared to the previous administration The Trump administration is highlighting a 24% increase in individual tax refunds this season compared with those issued during the previous administration. The average refund is now $3,521, up 11% from last year. The boost comes after Republicans passed legislation last year that includes tax breaks and spending cuts affecting various income brackets. Deductions cover tips, overtime, car loan interest and some benefits for seniors. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the law will add $4.2 trillion to the national debt by 2034. Taxpayers have until April 15 to file taxes or ask for an extension. https://www.whec.com/ap-top-news/ap-top-news-political/irs-touts-a-24-increase-in-tax-refunds-compared-to-the-previous-administration/
