Americans could receive large federal tax refunds early next year because of recent tax law changes. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said that some households will receive up to $2,000. Bessent because of tax cuts included in the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act, a sprawling tax and spending law enacted in July. “I think we’re going to see $100-$150 billion of refunds, which could be between $1,000, $2,000 per household,” when asked about refund expectations in an interview with NBC. As many working Americans have not changed their federal tax withholding rates since the law took effect, they have likely paid more taxes than required. That, he said, should lead to “very large refunds” early in 2026 when taxpayers file their 2025 returns.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett made similar remarks earlier this week. “We’re going into next year, where the typical person who’s got no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, is probably going to see an extra $1,600 to $2,000. A lot of that will come as tax refunds at the beginning of the year,” Hassett said. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes hundreds of provisions affecting tax rates, deductions, and credits for individuals and businesses, and was signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4. Bessent did not provide a specific date for when refunds would be issued, but indicated most would arrive during the first quarter of tax filing season.

A man who promoted himself as “Atlanta’s top veneer specialist” has been indicted on more than 100 criminal counts. Brandon Dillard was charged with performing cosmetic dental procedures without a license and other related offenses. Fulton County investigators say Brandon Dillard, operator of “A List Smiles Atlanta,” made millions from offering dental veneer procedures and training others to do the same without the required licensure. Though his initial arrest happened on Oct. 3, records show a grand jury returned an indictment on Nov. 21 containing 113 counts. Charges include violations of the Georgia Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, 54 counts of theft by deception, and practicing both dentistry and medicine without a license, WSB-TV reported. “He’s never been a dentist. And as much as he may want to play one on Instagram, he is not one,” Fulton County Deputy District Attorney Will Wooten said to the outlet. The indictment spans alleged conduct from 2021 through late 2024. Prosecutors also allege Dillard offered training courses for aspiring “veneer specialists,” charging participants several thousand dollars each despite no such credential or legal category existing in Georgia. Self-proclaimed top Atlanta veneer specialist Brandon Dillard was indicted on 113 counts for allegedly running a multimillion-dollar unlicensed dental operation.He faces RICO, theft, and unlicensed practice charges, with arraignment in January. pic.twitter.com/ri089HHuPZ— Everything Georgia (@GAFollowers) December 11, 2025 A customer who paid about $3,000 for partial veneers told WSB-TV that her regular dentist immediately flagged the work as problematic during a subsequent visit. “He kept asking who did this. You need to be careful,” she said. She added that she did not notice a dental license before initially paying for the procedure. The indictment also includes charges of battery, possession of dangerous drugs, and conspiracy to defraud a political subdivision, reflecting prosecutors’ view of the alleged misconduct as extensive and systemic. Authorities say misuse of dental instruments or improper application of veneers can lead to serious health risks, such as infections, nerve damage, and long-term tooth decay. Licensed dentists and dental boards have issued warnings nationwide about “veneer techs” and others who advertise cosmetic dental work without proper training or oversight. Dillard’s arraignment is scheduled for January 2026. State regulators and prosecutors are urging patients who received services from this provider or participated in his training to contact the Fulton County District Attorney’s office. Prosecutors stress that anyone performing dental procedures without proper licensure could face separate criminal charges.
