Tax Refunds Could Frontline Q1, 2026
Scott Bessant, the United States Secretary of the Treasury, in one of his recent interviews shared how 2026 could bring in massive tax refunds for the Americans to enjoy. Bessant shared how the US households may end up enjoying tax relaxation worth $1K to $2K per household, with a $100B to $200B cash injection.
“The one big beautiful bill was passed on July 4th, but for working Americans. It was retroactive to the beginning of the year. Most taxpayers did not change their withholding, so as a result we’re going to see very substantial $100 to $150 billion of refunds in the first quarter go directly to Americans’ pockets. So the sooner they file, the sooner they’ll get them.]Our estimate is it could be $1,000 or $2,000 per household, depending on the number of workers.”
Bessant later shared how real economic progress may soon start to appear fresh from the first to the second quarter of 2026.
“Yes. I think it’s going to start lifting off in the first quarter and the second quarter. And you know, Maria. The other thing is, when I started my career on Wall Street in the 80s, people used to focus on trade. Were we building more in the U.S. or were we importing more? We’re seeing the trade deficit drop, too. So the trade deficit drop means more production in the U.S. So I think that’s something that economists are going to have to start looking at again. Thanks to President Trump, after 40 years. Well, you’re proposing a major shift now in how the government approaches financial stability.”
