U.S. importers who paid tariffs the Supreme Court ruled illegal are nearing refunds, but shoppers who paid higher prices likely won’t see one.

Exactly two months after the Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump's tariffs, businesses that paid those levies began requesting refunds Monday.

The government expects to process refunds in phases, focusing first on more recent tariff payments.

Some companies say they'll pass tariff refunds on to customers. But will shoppers actually see lower prices? Here's what to know.

Neighbors Bank reports that covering the upfront cost of buying a home in 2026 requires the equivalent of over 12 tax refunds, nearly double the amount needed in 2009.

Businesses can now request refunds for tariffs that were struck down by the Supreme Court earlier this year. But consumers are unlikely to benefit, according to legal experts.

After the Supreme Court struck down most of President Trump's tariffs, Richard Brown began lining up the paperwork he needed to get his refund. Experts say many businesses may never get their money back.

Up to $166 billion in tariff refunds may reach U.S. companies within 60–90 days, but processing delays and documentation gaps could slow payments.
