2026 tax refunds are here

No overtime taxes for an E.R. nurse in Palm City, permanent child tax credits for a Port St. Lucie mom, and a retiree in Jupiter was shocked after not seeing a refund in decades.

2026’s tax season is here and from across our district, and I'm hearing that your money is going exactly where it belongs, all thanks to the One Big Beautiful Bill. 

Here's my fundamental belief: it’s your money. Every single dollar that the government spends is one that YOU went to work for, and Washington should be forced to do more with less, so that you can do more with more. That’s why I supported the One Big Beautiful Bill, and it’s why I’m hoping to hear from all of you. 

If you've filed, I hope to hear from you in the survey below.  If you haven’t filed your taxes yet, the deadline is April 15.  

What they're saying: the people of Florida's 21st

"First time in eight years I received a refund. The no tax on overtime made this happen."
— Franklin, Port St. Lucie

Over 25 million Americans claimed the no-tax-on-overtime deduction with average savings of $3,100.

"It was the first refund on my taxes in 45 years." — Maryann, Hobe Sound

Over 30 million seniors claimed the enhanced senior deduction with average savings of $7,500.

"2025 was one of the hardest years of my life. This year's refund helped me buy a safe vehicle and get my family back into a home of our own." — Eden, Port St. Lucie

Over 34 million families claimed the enhanced Child Tax Credit.

"As a retired Army officer on a fixed income and raising a family, we monitor our finances closely. I'm happy to report that we have more than tripled our refund from last year (and frankly, from the last few years)." — Kevin, Stuart

The One Big Beautiful Bill had America's heroes in mind too.

"I got a larger business deduction and one for buying a new car." — Sammy, Jensen Beach

Over 1 million filers deducted car loan interest on new American vehicles with average savings of $1,800.
