PORTLAND, Ore. — Oregonians are officially in store for a more than $1.41 billion kicker surplus when filling their 2025 taxes, the Oregon Department of Revenue announced Friday.

The surplus will be returned to taxpayers through a credit on their state personal income tax returns filed in 2026. It is not sent to taxpayers in a check. The kicker credit will either increase a taxpayer's Oregon state income tax refund or decrease the amount of state taxes they owe.

The amount sent to individual Oregonians is based on how much they paid in taxes for 2024. Typically, this means higher income earners can expect to receive much larger kicker payments.

Only taxpayers who filed a tax year 2024 return and also file a tax year 2025 return can receive a kicker.
