Carter celebrates record-high tax returns on Tax Day for hard-working American families

WASHINGTON, DC – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today released a statement celebrating the Working Families Tax Cuts, President Trump's landmark legislation that provided the largest tax cut in American history. Every Democrat in Congress voted against it, and had they won, American families, workers, and small business owners would be facing a massive tax increase today instead of relief. On Tax Day, American workers are receiving record-high tax returns because of pro-worker, pro-business tax provisions in the Working Families Tax Cuts. The provisions include the following: Doubled the Child Tax Credit Doubled the Standard Deduction Eliminated Taxes on Tips Eliminated Tax on Overtime Raised the Death Tax Exemption “Through the Working Families Tax Cuts, House Republicans delivered win after win for working families. Provisions such as doubling the Child Tax Credit, No Tax on Tips, No Tax on Overtime, and raising the death tax exemption amount are lowering the burden on families and supporting small businesses and hardworking farmers in Georgia,” said Rep. Carter. "Republicans are governing with common-sense policies that are helping folks keep more of what they earn.” ###
