Oregon Taxpayers to Receive 17% Kicker

Oregon Taxpayers to Receive 17% Kicker

Presented By Aldrich CPAs + Advisors

The Oregon Department of Revenue (ODR) confirmed a surplus of $1.9 billion from 2020 taxes in early October. Despite the pandemic, the kicker signals economic growth, as it means the state exceeded revenue projections by at least 2%.

This year, the kicker will arrive as a refundable tax credit on taxpayers’ 2021 taxes.

How do I calculate my kicker amount?

The surplus percentage, determined by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis (OEA), is 17.341%. So, to calculate how much you’ll receive from the tax kicker, multiple your 2020 tax liability by 0.17341. The ODR also provides a tool that automatically calculates the credit for you.
