How much will my Oregon tax kicker be?
The summary states that the unexpected revenue growth seen this year has left Oregon with unprecedented balances this biennium, followed by a record kicker in 2023-25. The projected personal kicker is $3.0 billion, which will be credited to taxpayers when they file their returns in Spring 2024.
Instead of getting separate kicker checks, the surplus will materialize as a credit on taxpayers' 2021 state personal income tax returns when they file in 2022. To calculate the amount of your credit, you can multiply your 2020 tax liability before any credits, which appears on line 22 of form OR-40, by 17.341%.
The kicker law is unique to Oregon. To calculate the amount of your credit, multiply your 2020 tax liability before any credits — line 22 on the 2020 Form OR-40 — by 17.341%, a percentage determined by OEA.
According to the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis (OEA), there was a $1.9 billion tax surplus in 2021. The kicker activates when Oregon's state revenue exceeds the expected revenue by at least 2%. When this occurs, an amount calculated by OEA is returned to the taxpayers through a credit on their tax returns.
You can prove this to yourself by writing down your Oregon refund, then going in to TurboTax and setting the 2018 state tax to zero. Your Oregon refund should drop by the amount of the kicker (because you just set the amount of the kicker to zero).
The Oregon surplus credit, known as the “kicker,” is a way for state government to return some of your taxes to you when revenues are more than predicted. The Oregon Department of Administrative Services determines whether there is a surplus and the amount to be returned to taxpayers as a kicker.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Oregonians can expect a tax credit on their 2021 state income tax returns from a $1.9 billion tax surplus, or “kicker,” the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis announced Tuesday.

Your deductions changed.
A tax refund means that the government took more out of your paycheck than you actually owed. You have some measure of control over how much comes out of each paycheck, however, and changes to your deductions could lead to a smaller refund (or a bill from the IRS).
You may have received a lower refund than expected because your refund was applied to a past due debt. Some examples of past due debt include federal or state income taxes, state unemployment compensation debts, child support, or federal nontax debt such as student loans.
Oregon usually issues refunds within 2-weeks of receipt of an electronically filed return. If you are a part-year or non-resident of Oregon, your Oregon refund will not be issued before March.
