BOSTON — Massachusetts taxpayers will receive a big break next year under President Donald Trump’s recently enacted spending package, according to a new report.
The Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan Washington-based think tank, estimates that Bay Staters will see their taxes cut by an average of $5,139 in 2026 under Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill – the third-largest reduction in the nation following Wyoming and Washington state.
