Claim Your $400 Tax Rebate Before November 1: On September 15, the General Assembly passed a bill aimed at providing taxpayers with an opportunity to convert their tax liability into rebates. These rebates can go up to $400 for joint filers and $200 for individual filers. Eligible individuals have until November 1, 2023, to qualify for this rebate, but there are specific requirements to meet. It’s important to understand that not all taxpayers will qualify for these rebates. Those who had a tax liability from the previous year and filed individually are eligible for up to $200, while those filing jointly can receive up to $400.
To clarify, tax liability is the amount of tax you owe for the entire year, considering any applicable tax credits, like the earned income tax credit and credits for taxes paid to other states. Subtractions and deductions are also taken into account when calculating tax liability.
Now, let’s discuss how these rebates will be distributed to taxpayers. If you received a direct deposit refund this year, it’s likely that you will get a direct deposit rebate into the same account. For all other eligible taxpayers, the rebate will be sent by mail as a paper check. If you have recently moved and have a valid forwarding order with the United States Postal Service, the paper check will be sent to your updated address. If you’re unsure about the status of your mailing address, instructions on how to update your name, address, or Social Security number will be provided. Additionally, it’s crucial to ensure your bank account information is up to date. Failure to do so will result in receiving a paper check by mail.
It’s worth noting that certain taxpayer rebates may be subject to reduction or withholding to fulfill outstanding debt obligations. Those who owe money to specific government agencies or institutions will have their rebates withheld, and they will need to settle the remaining balance through paper checks. Individuals who owe more than the rebate amount will receive a letter explaining how the rebate was used to address the debt.
