‘Your refund: $0’: Companies claim billions in tariff refunds, months after Trump floated $2,000 checks

Brandon Bell/Getty Images Companies that collected higher prices on everything from TVs to school clothes are now getting billions back in tariff refunds. Your refund: $0. Even though the tariffs in question are gone, as the Supreme Court threw them out in February, the government is refunding the money to brands like Walmart, Apple, Ford and Amazon, among others.

Here's what it is and 3 simple steps to fix it ASAP Millionaires under 43 hold only 25% of their wealth in stocks. Here's where their money is actually going Walmart's refund could reach roughly $2.4 billion by CNBC's calculation. Following Walmart's lead is Apple, whose refund is roughly $2.2 billion, though the company disclosed only the effect on its margins. Ford's filings show $1.3 billion. Nintendo hit $936 million, and Amazon named its own figure outright: $600 million. Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wis., called those numbers out in a Facebook post and closed with: "Your refund: $0." About $86 billion has flowed out of the Treasury, roughly half of what's owed, and none of it has been offered to American households. Stranger still, Trump spent months promising Americans a $2,000 tariff check. Then, in April, he told CNBC's Squawk Box that Apple was holding off to avoid upsetting him. "If they don't do that, I'll remember them," he said of companies skipping refunds. Dozens applied anyway. Here's why the money is going to corporations, and whether any of it could still reach your pocket. Why you won't see the refund The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on February 20 that a 1977 emergency-powers law never gave the president authority to impose tariffs. Some 330,000 importers had paid about $166 billion under it. Steel, aluminum and auto tariffs imposed under other statutes survived. The Court said nothing about refunds, so the trade court ordered them, and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection built a portal that opened April 20. That order is now on appeal. A tariff is a tax paid at the border, and customs rules recognize only the company that paid it there. You paid Walmart, Walmart paid customs, customs is now paying Walmart back and there's no federal system for reaching the person at the end of that chain. Walmart has been here before: when it warned last year that tariffs could force price increases, Trump told the retail giant to eat the tariffs. This May, CFO John David Rainey confirmed to CNBC that Walmart had applied anyway, calling the refund "a relatively small part of our overall business." Story Continues It equals about 0.5% of Walmart's U.S. sales — the portion where the company was the importer on record. On $483 billion in U.S. sales, CNBC calculated that at roughly $2.42 billion, a number Walmart has never stated. The refund returns an unlawful tax to the businesses that legally paid it, which shareholders would expect any public company to claim. The people who ultimately covered those duties have no equivalent paperwork to file.

Nonpartisan New York Fed economists confirmed that nearly 90% of the burden landed on U.S. firms and consumers rather than foreign exporters. So where's the check Trump promised? On November 17, he told reporters in the Oval Office the payments would be sent out "probably in the middle of next year." That window has since closed. No bill has passed, and a draft rebate proposal from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., for $600 a person, has sat in committee since July 2025 without a cospon
