The Treasury Department’s recent analysis confirms that the Working Families Tax Cuts delivered the largest share of tax relief to low‑ and middle‑income Americans during the 2026 filing season. Between the April filing deadline and the current date, families and workers claimed $82 billion in individual relief directly from the cuts, a figure that will rise as more returns are filed. In total, 97 % of filers received a tax cut that would otherwise have been owed if the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act had not been extended. The relief was concentrated among those earning less than $200 k; 96 % of those receiving a cut earned below that threshold. For example, filers earning $100 k–$200 k received an average cut of $1,250, while those earning $50 k–$100 k received $815 on average. Additional benefits included no‑tax‑on‑tips and overtime deductions claimed by millions.
