The Federal Reserve has been profitable since its inception. The Federal Reserve Banks earn income primarily through interest on securities and fees for services. After covering their operating expenses, they remit the remaining earnings to the U.S. Treasury. This practice has been in place since the Federal Reserve was established in 1913. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

How the Fed Makes Money:

The Federal Reserve earns money through various activities, including:

Interest on securities: The Fed holds government securities (like Treasury bonds) and earns interest on them. 

Fees for services: The Fed provides services like check clearing and electronic payments for banks, and charges fees for these services. 

What Happens to the Profits:

After the Federal Reserve Banks cover their expenses, they remit the remaining earnings to the U.S. Treasury. 

Profitability Since Inception:

The Federal Reserve Act, which created the Federal Reserve System, was signed into law in 1913. The Act established the structure for the Federal Reserve Banks to operate and generate income, which they have done consistently since their creation. The system's ability to remit funds to the Treasury is a clear indicator of its profitability.
