10% Increase in Tax Refunds
This tax season, millions of Americans are expected to file their income tax return and are also waiting for their tax refunds. This year, some of the taxpayers will receive 10% increase in their tax refunds because the IRS adjusted the AGI due to inflation.
In a published article in CBS News, a bigger tax refund will be given to Americans after the IRS raised the tax brackets to 7.1%. For those whose income was outpaced by inflation, that could result in a return of as much as 10% more.
