driving taxpayer-first outcomes at the IRS while implementing the Working Families Tax Cuts and delivering larger refunds
Implement the Working Families Tax Cuts and deliver larger refunds.
Occurrences
We have been working for more than a year on legislation that prevents that outcome and provides additional tax relief specifically targeted to benefit low- and middle-income families and workers.
Evidence
The White House said President Trump signed the bill into law on July 4, 2025 and described it as making good on campaign promises, including the largest tax cut in history for middle- and working-class Americans and bigger paychecks.
Treasury’s Working Families Tax Cuts page says the law was signed into law on July 4 and is delivering bigger paychecks and bigger tax refunds in 2026, including an estimated $100 billion in total tax refunds for American families.
Treasury reported that as of April 14, 2026, the average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an 11 percent increase from the prior year, and that more than 53 million filers had claimed at least one of the new tax cuts.
Crapo’s Senate office said key components of the law apply retroactively to 2025 and that Treasury estimated total refunds could reach $100 billion for American families in 2026.
Latest Action: 07/04/2025 Became Public Law No: 119-21. Actions overview also shows the bill was signed by the President on 07/04/2025.
The White House states that President Donald J. Trump officially signed The One Big Beautiful Bill into law on July 4, 2025, describing it as legislation that makes good on campaign promises.
Treasury said the Working Families Tax Cuts were passed by Congressional Republicans in July 2025 and implemented by the IRS for the 2026 filing season. It reported an average refund over $3,400 and said that was an 11 percent increase compared with the prior filing season.
Treasury’s Working Families Tax Cuts page says the historic tax relief was signed into law on July 4 and is delivering bigger paychecks and bigger tax refunds in 2026.
Assessments
The promised Working Families Tax Cuts were enacted as part of H.R.1/Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025, while Mike Crapo remained in federal office. Treasury later reported implementation for the 2026 filing season and larger average refunds, directly matching both parts of the promise. Because the outcome was enacted and implemented during the relevant same federal term, full delivery is warranted.
The evidence indicates the Working Families Tax Cuts were enacted on July 4, 2025, during the same term, and Treasury reported larger 2026 refunds, including an average refund over $3,400 and an 11 percent increase from the prior year. Because both implementation and the promised larger refunds are documented as occurring, the promise is fulfilled. The effort badge is false because the outcome was delivered, not merely attempted.
