Vice President Mike Pence says Ohio families will see in big boost in their paychecks.

One of the claims the Vice President made was that the average family of four will save $2,300 a year. But is that true?

Vice President Mike Pence was in Cleveland Friday, addressing a wide range of issues. He talked about ending the opioid crisis, North Korea, and what the new tax plan will mean for Ohio.

One of the claims the Vice President made was that the average family of four will save $2,300 a year. But is that true?

"President Trump promised over the course of the campaign that we'd cut taxes across the board for working families."

That’s what Vice President Mike Pence has been saying as he travels the country touting the new Tax Plan. And he claims Ohio is benefiting big time.

In an op-ed he wrote for Cleveland.com, Mr. Pence says, unemployment in greater Cleveland has dropped 10%, companies across the state have added 50,000 new jobs, and the typical Ohio couple with two kids will see nearly $2,300 dollars more in their paycheck this year.

"I'm proud to report that today Americans are seeing their paychecks rise faster than any point in nearly ten years,” he said.

Those are pretty significant achievements. So, we asked the White House how they came up with those numbers. The press office didn’t respond.

But we can tell you, their figures don’t jive with the IRS or Census Bureau.

With the median household income in Ohio at just more than $50,000 dollars, the IRS says the paycheck increase is actually around $570 dollars.

And it could be less for people who itemize out of pocket business costs, because those are gone, along with deductions for mortgage interest.

Deductions for real estate taxes and medical expenses have been lowered.

And people with a lot of kids may also get hit. While the new child tax credit has doubled, personal exemptions are gone.

It's why Policy Matters Ohio, a non-profit research group says. don't believe the hype.

“We had the slowest increase in job growth since the recession, only 0.6 percent during that time period and that's lower than the nation,” says Victoria Jackson, a researcher with the agency.

And it says, the real beneficiaries are corporations, although some believe, that will ultimately benefit workers.

"We have announcements from, what, 100 to 150 companies about repatriating money back to the United States…about boosting wages and about providing bonuses to employees," says Tax Attorney Robert Fedor.

Apparently, some Ohio residents are still waiting for that trickle down though. In a Facebook poll I did on my own page, as well as one on WKYC’s page, the percent of people who didn’t notice a difference in their paycheck was pretty much equal with those that did. Although some said the increase was as little as $1 or $2 a paycheck.
