Press Release, Congresswoman Claudia Tenney

WASHINGTON, DC – Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today highlighted the impact of the Trump Tax Cuts as Americans file their taxes, underscoring the significant tax relief and economic growth delivered to families, workers, and small businesses across the country.

This year, taxpayers are seeing the benefits from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which was signed into law July 4th, 2025. A family of four with two children is expected to see up to $10,900 in increased take-home pay, along with an estimated 10% increase in average tax refunds.

For many working-class families earning up to $73,000, federal income tax liability has been reduced to zero, while the average tax cut for working families is approximately $2,300.

The legislation also delivered on key promises, including eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, Social Security, and auto loan interest, while permanently expanding the Child Tax Credit and standard deduction. In addition to direct relief, these policies are driving long-term economic growth, supporting more than 7.2 million jobs and contributing to an estimated $1.2 trillion increase in real GDP over the next four years.

“On Tax Day, families across Upstate New York are seeing the real benefits of commonsense tax relief,” said Congresswoman Tenney. “The Trump Tax Cuts delivered meaningful results by lowering tax burdens, expanding the Child Tax Credit, and eliminating taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. These policies are putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans, strengthening small businesses, and driving economic growth in communities like ours.”
