The Truth About How Much Americans Are Paying in Taxes

As Americans file their taxes this April, they might be in for a surprise: Most Americans got a tax cut last year.

It shouldn’t be a surprise given the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but unfortunately, the media have produced a neverending deluge of misleading or inaccurate reporting on the issue.

Last year, The Heritage Foundation studied how the tax cuts would affect Americans in every congressional district across the country. We found that each of the 435 districts got a tax cut and that the average American household paid about $1,400 less in taxes as a result in 2018.

  2. I paid 6K more in taxes this year due to not being allowed to write off mileage and other expenses and the fact that in Maryland you must file the same way you file your federal return

  3. MD taxes never go down. They constantly go up. O'Malley raised our gas tax and I am not sure if has been completed yet since it was to go up every year.

    My refund turned in to a payment this time. But I earned more and paid less taxes.

  5. People have to stop thinking of the payroll tax as a contribution to a bank that holds the money for them until after January 1st. Tax returns aren't a gift from government, it's your money that shouldn't have been taken in the first place.
