Oregon’s $1.41 billion tax surplus is officially returning to taxpayers. Thanks to the Oregon Surplus Kicker program, millions of eligible filers can now claim the tax credit on their 2025 state income return.
The credit pays out every two years, and only if state revenue projections rise above 2% — so the Oregon kicker isn't always a guarantee. Like prior years, strict eligibility requirements mean not all Oregon taxpayers qualify, either.
