OPINION — I’ve been hearing a lot of negative comments about President Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. Thank God for it.
I want to share that my husband and I paid over $4,000 in federal taxes in 2024, before the bill was passed. The opposite was true for 2025. We received a refund for the first time in three years. Now we pay nothing.
And it’s not just us. According to the Government Accountability Office, the average tax refund went up $333, an 11% increase. The new senior deduction is giving real relief, so most retirees no longer pay federal tax on Social Security.
