According to the Oregon Department of Revenue, you will get the one-time payment if you claimed the Oregon Earned Income Tax Credit on your 2020 tax return and resided in Oregon for the final six months of 2020.
The goal is to assist low-income Oregonians and others who are still struggling financially as a result of COVID-19.
By July 1st, all direct deposits will be completed and checks will be sent.
About 236,000 households, according to the DOR’s estimate, will be eligible for payouts.
A tax credit known as the EITC was created to aid families and workers with low to moderate incomes.
You don’t need to take any action to receive the $600 stimulus payment if you filed your 2020 tax return before December 31, 2021, and earned the EITC. It will be sent to you via check or direct deposit.
Check your 2020 state income tax return to see if you received the Oregon EITC. On line 33 of Form OR-40, line 59 of Form OR-40-N, or line 58 of Form OR-40-P, the credit would have been claimed.
What if I’m qualified but didn’t claim EITC on my 2020 tax return? To be eligible for the EITC, your return for 2020 had to have been modified by April 15, 2022, if it was submitted by December 31, 2021.
You won’t get paid once if you missed the cutoff for amending your return. To receive the Earned Income Tax Credit, you can still make changes to your federal and Oregon tax filings.
What if my return for 2020 was transferred to a refund anticipation account? Normally, the refund option you chose on your tax return will be used to send you the $600 payment.
You will get your money by check in the mail if you paid your tax preparation expenses with your return or obtained an advance refund from your tax service provider.
What happens if I meet the requirements but did not claim the EITC on my 2020 tax return?
If your return for 2020 was filed by December 31, 2021, it had to have been amended by April 15, 2022, to be eligible for the EITC.
If you missed the deadline for updating your return, you won’t get compensated once. You still have time to make adjustments to your federal and Oregon tax returns to qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit.
What if a refund anticipation account received my return for 2020? Normally, the $600 payment will be sent to you using the refund option you selected on your tax return.
If you paid your tax preparation costs together with your return or received an advance refund from your tax service provider, you will receive your money by check in the mail.
