After the Supreme Court\u00a0struck down a large portion of President Donald Trump’s tariff agenda<\/a>\u00a0last month, the possibility of getting\u00a0tariff dividend checks<\/a>\u00a0was seemingly discarded too, experts said.<\/p>\n “Tariff dividends were a long shot from the beginning,” certified financial planner Stephen Kates, a financial analyst at Bankrate, told CNBC<\/a> at the time.\u00a0Any such broad-based benefit program would require legislation passed by Congress and “there does not appear to be sufficient political support,” Kates said. “The odds of this policy moving forward is now effectively zero.”<\/p>\n And then the “Tariff Refunds for Working Families Act” came along. <\/p>\n On Thursday, Sen.\u00a0Martin Heinrich<\/a>, D-N.M., introduced a bill<\/a> that would create a new\u00a0tax rebate<\/a>\u00a0for those hit by higher costs for everyday items due to Trump’s reciprocal tariffs<\/a>. If enacted as drafted, the rebate would provide joint filers making an annual income of under $180,000 with a payment of $1,200, plus an additional $600 for each dependent child, starting in the 2026 tax year<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
