All 425 congressional districts have benefitted from tax cuts President Trump signed into law in December, with the potential payoff for a family of four reaching $44,697, according to an exhaustive impact report.

The Heritage Foundation analysis added that the payoffs can be pushed higher if the legislation is made permanent.

The state-by-state report and map showed that urban areas, especially around Washington, were among the biggest winners.

“We find that the average household and the average married couple with two kids in every congressional district in every state benefit from the tax cut, both in 2018 and over the next 10 years. Nationally, average households will save $1,400, and married couples with two children will save $2,918 in 2018,” said the backgrounder.

It also said that factoring in other tax cut impacts, “the typical American household will benefit from more than $26,000 in increased take-home pay between 2018 and 2027. The average family of four can expect over $44,000 of increased take-home pay.”

The president and congressional Republican leaders are stressing the tax cut on the campaign trail as a key achievement. There are moves to add to the cuts and make those already in place permanent.
