America Was Facing the Largest Tax Increase in History.

Without action from Congress, the popular 2017 tax cuts were scheduled to expire — triggering the largest tax increase in American history. 

For millions of families, that meant higher taxes, fewer jobs, and slower economic growth. A typical family earning $75,000 per year would have seen a tax hike of $1,500 annually.  

Instead, Congress passed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, making these pro-growth tax policies permanent and protecting family budgets. It wasn’t easy, and every member of Congress who voted “Yes” deserves our gratitude. Send them a thank-you here!

What the Working Families Tax Cuts Deliver

Protects Lower Taxes for Families

The Working Families Tax Cuts stopped what would have been the largest tax hike in U.S. history. The individual and small business tax cuts enacted in 2017 were set to expire at the end of 2025. Without the Working Families Tax Cuts, the average American family’s taxes would have increased by $1,500 a year. 

Supports Small Businesses and Job Growth

A key feature of the Working Families Tax Cuts is its provision for permanent tax cuts for individuals and small businesses. By eliminating expiration dates, the law reduces economic uncertainty, enabling individuals and businesses to plan for the long term with confidence. This stability fosters economic growth while eliminating the need to revisit the issue in future years.

American Energy Independence

The Working Families Tax Cuts expands American energy production and reduces burdensome regulations that increase costs. The bill cuts red tape to speed energy development, making it easier to build pipelines and refineries. It expands oil and natural gas lease sales on federal lands and offshore areas. More American energy means lower prices and more good-paying jobs.

Cuts Wasteful Government Spending

The law reduces federal spending by more than $1 trillion and eliminates wasteful subsidies and special-interest handouts. The Working Families Tax Cuts phases out and eliminates many of Biden’s tax subsidies for electric vehicles and “green” energy projects, including ending the $7,500 tax credit that helped families with $300,000 incomes buy an $80,000 electric car.

Stronger Border Security

The Working Families Tax Cuts allocated historic amounts to secure the border. The law will complete the border wall and invests in border security and enforcement to address the crisis at the southern border. The bill takes special aim at stopping the flow of fentanyl, which is devastating rural communities.

Health Care Reform

The Working Families Tax Cuts marks a significant step toward a more personalized health care system. Over 7 million Americans will gain access to cost-saving health savings accounts (HSAs), while at least 75 million will benefit from expanded access to direct primary care (DPC). Giving millions of Americans more choice and control forces providers to compete for your health care dollar, driving prices down and increasing access.

Goes After Waste, Fraud, And Abuse In Medicaid

The Working Families Tax Cuts prioritizes care for those it was designed to help: women, children, and the disabled. Over the last decade, ineligible Medicaid enrollees cost U.S. taxpayers $1.1 trillion, robbing Medicaid of resources that should be going to help the most vulnerable. By implementing work requirements and stricter eligibility screening, the Working Families Tax Cuts saves taxpayers $930 billion while safeguarding Medicaid so it is available for those who need it — now and in the future.

Real Impact from the Working Families Tax Cuts

The Working Families Tax Cuts are delivering real results for small business owners across America. Read some of the powerful stories of how this legislation is making a difference in the lives of hard-working Americans.

Dan Dolan, Third-Generation Farmer

“I have a third generation farm…without this tax cut you couldn’t write things off like repairs to your building or say you want to upgrade your equipment.”

Mark Caskey, Steel Nation

“[The 2017 Tax Cuts have] allowed us to bring in new employees. Right now we’re hiring three. It has also allowed us to start a couple of new businesses.”

Vicki Harry, Thanks A Latte

“This year I’m doing something big…I’m building a brand new store, and because of this bill, I’ll be able to write off every penny I spend on new equipment this year. It all counts. That means I can invest now without being buried in debt later.”

What’s Next?

Passing the law was an important step — but ensuring it delivers results for American families is just as important.
