Notably, the data reports that 96% of filers receiving a tax cut this year earned less than $200,000, making clear Republicans\u2019 signature tax bill is having a positive impact on working families.\n\n\u201cThis tax season, American workers and their families claimed $82 billion in individual relief directly from the Working Families Tax Cuts,\u201d said Congressman Emmer. \u201cThis legislation is the single-greatest victory for working families in history! Thanks to House Republicans and President Trump, everyday Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned money. It\u2019s a shame that Tim Walz and the DFL blocked many of these game-changing provisions from helping Minnesotans.\u201d\n\n2026 tax season facts and figures, courtesy of the Treasury Department:\n\nNearly 70% of filers receiving a tax cut earned less than $100,000\n\nOver 7.5 million filers claimed the No Tax on Tips provision\n\nOver 29 million filers claimed the No Tax on Overtime provision\n\nOver 35 million seniors claimed the Enhanced Deduction for Seniors\n\nOver 1.4 million filers claimed the No Tax on Car Loan Interest provision\n\nNearly 40 million families claimed the enhanced Child Tax Credit\n\nBackground:\n\nOn July 4, 2025, President Trump signed the Working Families Tax Cuts into law, securing no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, no taxes on Social Security, and no taxes on American-made car loans, among other provisions.\n\nBefore this legislation was passed, taxes were set to increase by $5 trillion. Thanks to its passage, 97% of filers received a tax cut this year.\n\nEarlier this year, Tim Walz and Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) party officials, sick with Trump Derangement Syndrome, blocked key provisions of the Working Families Tax Cuts from going into effect - including no tax on tips and no tax on overtime provisions - for hardworking Minnesota families.\n\n###", 1, "2026-06-05T06:35:23Z", "2026-06-05T06:36:42Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://emmer.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/new-data-highlights-everyday-americans-winning-big-from-gop-s-working-families-tax-cuts"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0724500752985477, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
