United States119th CongressHRES-1156House of Representatives
Updated: Apr 16, 2026
Summary
This House Resolution expresses strong support for tax policies designed to benefit working families and allow them to retain more of their earnings. It specifically recognizes the significant tax relief provided by Public Law 119-21 , known as the "Working Families Tax Cuts," which prevented a $2.6 trillion tax increase on taxpayers earning less than $400,000 annually. This law delivered an estimated $222 billion in tax refunds for 2025 and projects an average $3,750 tax cut for 2026. Key provisions ensure families of four making under $73,000 generally face zero federal income tax liability and provide a 15 percent tax cut for the bottom 40 percent of earners. The law also enacted "no tax on tips" and "no tax on overtime," offering billions in relief, and introduced deductions for American-made auto loan interest and up to $6,000 annually for seniors. Additionally, it permanently increased the standard deduction, expanded the child tax credit to $2,200 per child, and made the adoption tax credit more accessible. Further provisions include expanding 529 accounts for trade schools and K-12 education, and increasing access to health savings accounts to manage healthcare costs.
