President Donald Trump predicted on Monday that Americans will witness the “largest tax refund season ever” this spring, crediting his administration's legislative reforms for a massive infusion of cash into household bank accounts.<h2>The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act' Legacy</h2>Speaking with Fox Business host Larry Kudlow, the President touted the success of the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” a comprehensive four-year legislative package passed earlier in his term.Trump emphasized that the bill was designed to streamline 17 different initiatives into a single “miracle” of legislation that he believes will stabilize the U.S. economy for the remainder of the decade.“We put it together, and we got it passed, and we're short of a miracle,” Trump told Kudlow. “We've gotten everything passed we need for four years. Now we just have to manage it.”White House projections and independent analyses from groups like the Tax Foundation suggest average refunds could rise by as much as $1,000 per filer, fueled by retroactive provisions including “No Tax on Tips” and “No Tax on Overtime.” “Next year is projected to be the largest tax refund season ever, and we’re going to be giving back refunds out of the tariffs because we’ve taken in literally trillions of dollars, and we’re going to be giving a nice dividend to the people, in addition to reducing debt,” he said.<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div><blockquote>Making America rich again. 💰 President Trump sits down for an economic interview with Fox Business' Larry Kudlow.

I think more than that.”<h2>Investment And Industrial Renaissance</h2>Trump credited the bill's “100% immediate expensing” provision for an estimated $18 trillion in domestic investment.By allowing businesses to deduct the full cost of new factories and equipment in a single year—rather than over decades—the President claims the U.S. is “dominating everybody” in manufacturing and AI.“They take the cost of a factory and deduct it in one year,” Trump explained. “It meant much greater growth… we're blowing it away now.”<h2>Dow Jumps Over 3% In 2026</h2>As of Tuesday’s close, the Dow Jones index rose 3.73% year-to-date, whereas the S&amp;P 500 was 1.22% higher. However, the Nasdaq Composite index was down 0.57% in 2026.Meanwhile, the U.S. futures were trading higher on early Wednesday following a mixed close on Tuesday.The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, closed lower on Tuesday.
