U.S. Representative Rob Wittman said on April 24 that the Working Families Tax Cuts are designed to support Americans at every stage of life as Virginia families and small businesses complete their first tax filing season under the new legislation.
The topic is significant for many in Virginia’s First District, where residents have begun experiencing the effects of the tax relief measures. According to his social media post, Rep. Rob Wittman hosted a roundtable this week in Washington, D.C., to discuss the Working Families Tax Cuts with local constituents from Virginia’s First District. The event brought together residents to review the legislation’s impact following its enactment the previous year and the conclusion of the 2025 tax season. Participants included families, seniors and small business owners who shared experiences with the tax relief measures now in effect.
“This week, I hosted a roundtable to discuss how the Working Families Tax Cuts delivers real, tangible relief to constituents. 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,” Wittman said.
The Working Families Tax Cuts include permanent extension of the 20 percent qualified business income deduction that supports small businesses across Virginia. The state is home to more than 880,000 small businesses that stand to benefit from the policy. Projections show the deduction will generate an additional 33,000 jobs annually in Virginia over the next decade while adding billions to the state’s economy according to a report by NFIB.
The legislation delivers an average tax cut of $3,750 per filer nationally while producing $100 billion in total tax refunds for American families this year. It also provides no tax on tips and overtime along with an increased child tax credit and new deductions for seniors. These changes put more money back in the pockets of workers and families while supporting broader economic growth according to information from the U.S. Treasury Department.
Wittman was first elected to represent Virginia’s First Congressional District in 2007 and currently serves as vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee according to his official biography.
