Americans paid 25 percent less in taxes on average in 2018, even though the impact isn’t reflected in the refund totals, according to data from tax preparation firm H&R Block.
According to H&R Block, Americans on average saw their tax refunds go up by just 1.4 percent, causing confusion among many who viewed the refund total as their bottom line and expected to see a major boost following the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
