This year is Oregon kicker year! From my understanding, the Oregon kicker is a law that helps make sure Oregon is not over taxing it’s citizens. Oregon has a budget that they forecast incoming taxes as their revenue. If the revenue is higher than forecasted, it is then return back to the Oregon tax payers, like you. Oregon is one of the few states that does something like this. Recently, the governorship of former Gov. Kate Brown has taken portions of the year and used them. Going against the policy. However, this year the kicker was the largest ever. You should get a kicker for roughly, 44% of your state income taxes paid for 2022.
