💰 How’s Tax Season Treating You?

Tax Day is right around the corner — and across Iowa, the Working Families Tax Cuts are already showing up in bigger paychecks and stronger tax refunds. Here’s what we’re seeing so far: 

✅ Tax refunds are up 11% on average 

✅ A bigger standard deduction and a $2,200 Child Tax Credit are helping families keep more 

✅ No tax on tips and overtime means more money coming home after each shift 

For Iowa service workers like Erika, a bar manager in Ankeny who relies on tips to make ends meet, that last one is a game changer — putting up to $25,000 back in Erika’s pocket to spend on rent, groceries, or put away for the future. 

Here’s what we delivered:

Where we go from here: With Tax Day two weeks away, the goal is simple — make sure more of what you earn stays in your pocket. That’s what we’re fighting for. 

Bottom Line: For Erika and families across Iowa, tax refunds are up, tips are tax-free, and workers are keeping more of their hard-earned money. It’s a good start — and we’ll keep fighting to make sure your hard-earned income stays in your control.
