Oregon taxpayers set to receive record $5.6 billion kicker; here’s what you can expect

Oregon taxpayers are set to receive their biggest kicker tax rebate on record when they file their taxes next spring — a $5.6 billion refund, according to near-final forecasts issued Wednesday. That works out to $980 for the median taxpayer.

That’s nearly three times the biggest prior kicker. The huge payout reflects Oregon’s economic resilience after the pandemic and forecasters vastly underestimating the size of the comeback, and the impact of inflation and rising wages on state revenues.
