Bigger Refunds. Lower Inflation. Republicans are Delivering.

February 17, 2026

President Trump and House Republicans delivered the largest middle-class tax cut in history, and working families are already cashing their checks.

IRS data show average tax refunds hitting $2,290, up nearly 11% from this time last year.

At the same time, January inflation cooled to 2.4% year-over-year, the slowest pace since May and below expectations, and another sign the Republican agenda is driving real relief.
