Most Americans believe their taxes will increase over the next 12 months, according to Gallup polling released on Thursday.

Fifty-seven percent of Americans predict their taxes will be higher than they are now, compared to 33% who think they won’t change and 8% who expect them to be lower.

Half of Americans said they think their taxes are too high, compared to 44% who said they were “about right” and 4% who said they’re not paying enough in taxes.

Separately, 55% said they think the taxes they have to pay are “fair,” compared to 43% who disagreed

The White House recently clarified that the threshold applies to people who file their taxes individually and the combined income of couples filing jointly
