Trump floats $2,000 tariff rebate checks. What you need to know

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump proposed sending $2,000 checks but needs congressional approval, requiring both the House and Senate to sign off.
  • Tariffs have raised $35.9 billion so far in fiscal 2026, and Trump pledged leftover funds would help pay down the $37 trillion national debt.
  • Proposal details remain thin, and he says the checks would target low and middle income Americans, phasing out above $75,000 for individuals, $150,000 for joint filers, and $112,500 for heads of household.
  • Several Republicans oppose stimulus checks, with Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin saying `I would oppose it`, and the Supreme Court may strike down tariffs, risking revenue and inflation.
  • No further details have been released about the proposed $2,000 dividend while rumors about IRS relief and viral $1,702 claims persist, and the Recovery Rebate Credit final claim deadline was April 15, 2025.
