WASHINGTON, D.C. — This week, Congressman Rob Wittman (VA-01) hosted a roundtable to discuss how the Working Families Tax Cuts delivers real, tangible relief to constituents while grounding the policy in lived experiences.

“It was a privilege to hear first-hand how the Working Families Tax Cuts are making a real difference in the lives of Virginians across the First District,” said Rep Wittman. “This legislation is about supporting Americans at every stage of life — from young families raising children, to parents planning for education, to those balancing work and caregiving responsibilities, to seniors on fixed incomes, and to the small business owners driving our local economy. I am proud to have supported the Working Families Tax Cuts and delivered meaningful tax relief to Virginians and Americans.” 

The Working Families Tax Cuts achieved the following: 

• Increased the Child Tax Credit to $2,200 per child and ensured it keeps pace with inflation

• Expanded the Child and Dependent Care Credit to help offset the cost of childcare

• Strengthened adoption tax relief to support families growing through adoption

• Expanded 529 education savings accounts to cover more educational expenses

• Encouraged employers to offer childcare and paid family leave benefits

• Increased the standard deduction so families can keep more of their income

• Ended taxes on tips 

• Ended taxes on overtime

• Cut taxes for millions of small business owners - helping them reinvest in their employees and communities

• Provided additional relief for seniors living on fixed incomes

The roundtable brought together working parents, service industry employees, small business owners, and seniors. Attendees discussed how key provisions—such as expanded family tax relief, no tax on tips and overtime, and small business incentives—put more money directly in workers’ pockets and provide greater financial certainty for all Virginians.
