US EditionHassett: US ‘going to see the biggest tax refund season of all time’ in 2026
The new federal tax law causes many taxpayers to receive larger refunds, with average increases of $300 to $1,000, benefiting seniors, tipped, and overtime workers.
- National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett predicted the largest-ever U.S. tax refund cycle in 2026 during televised interviews including Fox Business and Fox News Sunday; Reuters reports the season runs from Jan. 28, 2026 to April 15.
- Because withholding tables were not updated, officials say the IRS held more money and must return it, with refunds increasing by $300 to $1,000, following the enactment of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act in July 2025.
- Officials are also weighing a 1,490 'tariff dividend' cheque, benefiting low- and middle-income households, Hassett said.
- Several states have passed decoupling legislation to protect budgets, while Georgia, Maryland and South Carolina are expected to address tax relief next year, causing uneven effects.
- Since elections were held last month, the White House has focused on the U.S. economy as Republicans in the House and Senate push further tax proposals, including President Donald Trump's $1,776 'warrior dividend' bonus.
