The Trump administration has announced expectations of “very large refunds” for taxpayers in 2026. However, some individuals might find themselves less enthused about their refund amounts, as not everyone will see the same benefits.
“Due to the changes introduced by the Big Beautiful Bill, most taxpayers should anticipate larger refunds in 2026. However, the exact amount will significantly depend on each person’s specific tax situation,” explained Adam Brewer, a tax attorney with AB Tax Law, in an interview with Nexstar.
In a statement released in late January, the White House claimed that the legislation is set to create “the biggest tax refund season ever,” predicting that the average refund would increase by “$1,000 or more.”
