… 90% of them make less than $100,000. It was designed specifically to help the people who make the least money and actually have an impact.

Context. The Senate Finance Committee estimates that if the 2017 Trump tax cuts expired, households earning under $400,000 would face a $1,700 tax hike on the average family of four. This is a national figure for an expiration scenario, not an Arizona figure for a repeal.[2]
Context. Tax Foundation and Tax Policy Center estimate the 2025 tax law (OBBBA) cut average individual income tax by about $2,300 to $2,900 per taxpayer in 2026, a national average skewed toward upper-income earners. This does not address a repeal of the Working Families Tax Cut or an Arizona family figure.[1]
Context. Arizona-specific sources report the Working Families Tax Cuts' benefits (average refund of about $3,659, and 119,000 jobs protected) and a state $1.4 billion tax cut, but none estimates the tax increase that would follow a repeal.[3][4][5]
