Rep. Haridopolos: Delivering Tax Relief for Working Families

March 19, 2026 Press Release Washington, DC — Today, U.S. Congressman Mike Haridopolos (FL-08) published an op-ed in Florida Today highlighting how the Working Families Tax Cut Act delivers real relief to hardworking families across Florida’s Space and Treasure Coasts while helping build long-term financial security. In the op-ed, Congressman Haridopolos outlines key provisions of the Republican tax plan and their impact on 2025 tax returns, including eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, providing a $6,000 deduction for seniors, and extending the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to prevent tax increases on families and small businesses. He also highlights additional provisions taking effect in 2026, including maintaining the $2,000 Child Tax Credit, establishing new child savings accounts, and indexing tax relief to inflation to protect American workers from rising costs. “For families across Florida’s Space and Treasure Coasts, every paycheck matters. Whether you are a server working late nights, a first responder putting in overtime, or a retiree living on a fixed income, you deserve a tax code that rewards hard work and helps you keep more of what you earn,” said Congressman Haridopolos.
