Harris’ “Trump tax cut is really a tax hike†spin gets four Pinocchios

Getting a lower tax refund than usual this year? Kamala Harris argued on Monday that the drop in average refunds means Donald Trump hiked taxes on the middle class:
Harris wasn’t the only person confused by this outcome to reductions in tax rates, but she may have been the only potential 2020 presidential candidate to argue that reductions are tax hikes. Washington Post fact-checker Glenn Kessler branded this hot take as “nonsensical and misleading,†awarding Harris the full four Pinocchios. Yes, the tax refund average has dropped, but that’s because four out of five earners didn’t update their W-4 for withholding after the tax cuts took effect — as they were warned to do.
