Oregon does not have a surplus "Kicker" to claim on 2022 returns.
How do I claim the "Kicker" credit on my 2021 Oregon return?
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.
