That’s just a stupid headline.
Is anyone surprised
People are paying less taxes so there is less to refund. Seems simple but by all means try to write your headline to make it look like a tax hike. Figure it out
bradengw ObamaCare ENDED the tax refund . If you get one now you get FREE EVEYTHING ,vote dem and/or are illegal.
More FakeNews spin from FakeNewsNBC Less withholding throughout the year leads to lower (if any) refunds, morons. I have no sympathy for chuckleheads that give the government an interest-free loan every year...
No $& dumb trump gave you a tax break all year
Way to imply that your viewers are too stupid to understand how federal taxation works.
LEX18News That’s because more take home pay throughout the year. People need to stop giving the government interest free loans.
LEX18News This statistic is worthless unless we know average income difference and average withholding compared to last year as well.

But where did your total tax bill end for 2018? I’d bet it was less than 2017.
BenefitVBurden What’s the median? Average reflects the skew toward pass through income, where the amount will increase. I’m hearing 15% lower for wage income earners. That’s a big hit.
What they are not saying is that people are paying less taxes.
Lying to your ignorant base again NBC. Your refund size has NOTHING to do with your income. The Trump Tax Code is about less taxes, more “take-home” pay.
Comments show readers are not idiots. Of course the refund is not the same thing as total taxes paid, and the average working family did pay less taxes as payroll deductions all year under the new Trump code. Shameless brainwashing, this. Just stop.
Morons!!! Average refund has nothing to do with the effective tax rate. I’m guessing you would have reported that it if was higher. fakenews Then you could actually say taxes are higher than the previous year. SO LAZY!!!!
Duh. They were paying in less in taxes.
Ya know, that’s an irrelevant number. Now if you wanted to dig into a comparison of total tax paid year over year, that would be relevant. I won’t hold my breath.
Thanks trump and gop
I’m cool with that, my paychecks are noticeably bigger and I’m about buy things I couldn’t under the past president. Thank you President Trump!
Just think of all those people who only know common core math that are confused by this as intended.
And people wonder why Trump calls the media 'fake news'? Your refund is smaller because your paychecks were larger, less was taken out in most cases.
Average....yeah not helpful. What’s the median decline? And the median decline per income bracket. Average tells us nothing.
Because the WITHOLDING was smaller. Don’t obfuscate facts.
Well someone has to pay for the tax break for the 1%... you ‘d think the billionaires would at least say thank you...
Well there was less taken out of every paycheck… So you need to factor that in 🙄🙄😳
Obviously you do not know how the tax system works. Workers received more salary and less taxes out of the 2018 wage payments. Trying to compare return values to the actual amount received by workers is a false narrative and not in touch with reality.
Wow trump fix it where the rich get richer .he sold money from the american people.whats sad he shit on the ones who voted for him.
What about those who are paying for the first time?
LEX18News For people that pay no taxes, this is a good thing for working people.
Not quite how it works but spin it as you may!
Because there was the money withheld 🤗
Strange. As middle classer I received more.. Mmm..
Your so dumb!!!! That's because the government has taken LESS out of our paychecks....yherefore refu d's are LESS. Argh....fakenews
You think! Half the deductions were cut from the Schedule A but there are things that can be done.
Even with Republicans we lose, the worst part is looking at the Federal budget and realizing they have almost a trillion dollars of what they label as discretionary spending money. We just spent 2 months talking about 5 billion, thieves. Give me back my hard earned money!!
EndTheFed and its unconstitutional collection agency the IRS.
YOU PAID LESS TAXES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, numbskulls! ie.... keep more of your own money.
Now report how much they paid in taxes. Was it more or less than last year. You pay less in taxes you're gonna get a smaller refund.
Lower taxes Less withholding smaller refund
How did the effective tax rate change?
That's because more people are working earning better pay.
Great 👍🏽
That is great! Means your keeping more of your money
