U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman said 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 legislation.

Wittman hosted a roundtable in Washington, D.C., this week to discuss the Working Families Tax Cuts with constituents from Virginia’s First District, according to his social media post. The post said participants included families, seniors and small business owners discussing the legislation’s effects after the 2025 tax season.

“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 in the post.

The Working Families Tax Cuts include a permanent extension of the 20 percent qualified business income deduction, according to NFIB. NFIB said Virginia has 880,366 small businesses and projected the deduction would support 33,000 new jobs annually in the state over the next 10 years. 

The U.S. Department of the Treasury said the Working Families Tax Cuts provide an average tax cut of $3,750 per filer and $100 billion in total tax refunds in 2026 for American families. The department lists the law’s policy areas as including permanent tax cuts for workers and families, small business growth, school choice and support for families, according to Treasury

Wittman was first elected to represent Virginia’s First Congressional District in 2007. He serves as vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee, according to his official biography.
