A significant majority of Americans lack basic tax literacy, with 61% unable to accurately answer fundamental tax-related concepts, including the workings of tax brackets and the implications of tax refunds. The survey indicates widespread confusion, notably with 64% of participants unsure whether a $1,000 tax credit or deduction is more beneficial. This highlights the importance of consulting financial advisors to improve understanding and financial decision-making related to taxes and the federal tax code, especially given the general dissatisfaction with the current tax structure prevalent across political lines.
Most Americans demonstrate a lack of basic tax knowledge, with over half of those surveyed unsure about fundamental tax concepts, indicating a need for better tax literacy.
About two-thirds of respondents were unaware of how tax brackets function, and nearly half recognized that tax refunds shouldn't be considered a financial windfall.
