Keep seeing the right wing media and people on social media saying the June surplus was due to tariffs. What they did not say or understand is business are required to pay estimated taxes quarterly so that is the reason for the June surplus since the 2nd quarter ended in June. Not only business but other people with investments also pay estimated taxes quarterly.
