💲 Real Relief this Tax Season 💲

119th Congress, 2nd Session | February 2nd, 2026

Well folks, it’s that time of the year again: Tax season.

While no one looks forward to filing taxes or dealing with the dreadful IRS, real relief is coming this tax season thanks to Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB).

The OBBB, which received my vote and President Trump’s signature last summer, includes historic Working Families Tax Cuts that are estimated to deliver $91 billion in additional refunds to the American people. On average, families will see a nearly $4,000 refund — putting more cash back into hardworking people’s pockets. In fact, without the OBBB tax cuts, the average taxpayer in Georgia’s Ninth District would have faced a whopping 23% tax hike.

Some key OBBB highlights include:

✅ Establishes no tax on tips

✅ Establishes no tax on overtime

✅ Establishes supersized deduction for seniors

✅ Creates Trump Investment Accounts for newborns

✅ Makes permanent the doubled standard deduction

✅ Makes permanent the small business tax deduction

✅ Makes permanent and increases the Child Tax Credit

✅ Establishes no tax on car loan interest on new, U.S.-assembled vehicles

Bottom line: Thanks to the historic tax cuts in Republicans’ One Big Beautiful Bill, Americans will see real relief and bigger refunds.

While these tax cuts and new deductions are exciting, dealing with the IRS can still be a headache. If you or a loved one need help with the IRS, please don’t hesitate to contact my Gainesville District Office through my website or by calling 470-768-6520.

District Spotlight

As y’all know, linemen worked tirelessly in dangerous conditions to restore power to homes and businesses following massive power outages brought on by Winter Storm Fern. While schools remained closed, Clarkesville Elementary opened its doors to help serve meals to these hardworking crews. It’s always wonderful to see our Northeast Georgia communities come together to support one another during challenging times.

Thank you, Habersham County Schools, for this kind act of service!

In Case You Missed It

Week Ahead

This week, House lawmakers are back in Washington to complete the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. As a reminder, the House did its job two weeks ago by passing the remaining annual spending bills. However, Senate Democrats changed the already agreed upon deal and refused to approve the bipartisan, House-passed FY26 Homeland Security appropriations bill unless they received radical reforms surrounding ICE enforcement. Therefore, the Senate decided to pass a short-term continuing resolution for Homeland Security funding. Given this change, the spending package must return to and pass the House before receiving President Trump’s signature.

Additionally, we will consider the following pieces of legislation:

Holding Clintons Accountable: The House will consider two contempt resolutions to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton accountable for refusing to comply with the House Oversight Committee’s lawful subpoenas as part of its investigation into the horrific crimes of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell.
H.R. 4090, the Critical Mineral Dominance Act: This bill bolsters America’s critical mineral supply chains by codifying key provisions of Trump executive orders to streamline permitting, support domestic extraction, deliver certainty and consistency, and map resources as we work to reduce reliance on foreign adversaries and achieve mineral dominance.
H.J. Res. 142: This joint resolution of disapproval exercises Congress’ constitutional authority to prohibit the enactment of the D.C. Income and Franchise Tax Conformity and Revision Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, which decouples the D.C. tax code from specific One Big Beautiful Bill tax-related provisions and denies local residents and businesses the tax relief they deserve.
