The IRS reports that average tax refunds rose this year to about $3,462 through April 3, an 11% increase driven by retroactive Trump-era cuts. While the bump aligns with Republican hopes, it’s unlikely to deliver a decisive political advantage in the upcoming midterms, and the White House warns the impact on voters may be limited.
