It's Tax Day. Treasury says 53 million filers used new Trump tax breaks before the deadline

The tax filing deadline for most Americans is Wednesday, and President Donald Trump's administration is highlighting the impacts of Republicans' massive tax and spending law. The law eliminates taxes on tips and overtime for millions of people, exempts interest on certain car loans and gives new deductions to some seniors. The administration says more than 53 million filers claimed deductions under these provisions, as of Tuesday. Despite these changes, polling finds that most Americans still think their taxes are too high. Democrats say Americans are reeling from the high cost of living as Trump focuses his attention on the Iran war.
