SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) -- The Oregon Office of Economic Analysis said Friday it adjusted the “kicker” for the 2018 tax year from more than $1.5 billion to $1.6 billion earlier this month. That means an increase in the amount returned to taxpayers, in the form of tax credits.
The state hasn’t issued physical kicker checks since 2007. The surplus will be returned to taxpayers through a credit on their 2019 state personal income tax returns filed in 2020, the agency said.
