Oregonians on Alert: Top Tips for Speedy Oregon Kicker Tax Credit Filing

As the year winds down, Oregonians are eagerly anticipating their portion of the state’s staggering $5.61 billion kicker tax credit. The Oregon Department of Revenue has outlined crucial steps to ensure a swift and efficient claiming process for this substantial tax benefit.

Firstly, individuals must confirm the submission of their 2022 tax returns, as the amount disbursed will be based on their 2022 tax liability. The state emphasizes the necessity of this return to calculate the kicker accurately. While most taxpayers have already completed this step, those who haven’t filed electronically can opt for paper forms or await the reopening of electronic filing in late January.

Taxpayers are advised by the government to carefully arrange their tax records in advance of the 2023 tax filing season. In addition to using direct deposit for quicker refunds, this entails assembling a variety of documents, including W-2s, 1099s, and other income statements. A trustworthy tax return preparer who guarantees the veracity and correctness of the information supplied is also advised.
