The Oregon Legislature recently passed HB 4157 which will provide a one-time $600 payment to Oregon households who received an Earned Income Tax Credit on their 2020 tax filing. The one-time payment will be sent by July 31, 2022.

If you filed a 2020 Oregon tax return by December 31, 2021 and received an Oregon Earned Income Tax Credit, no action is required on your part, and you will automatically receive your payment by direct deposit or check. The payments are not taxable for Oregon and will not be applied to state and federal debt owed by eligible households.

Taxpayers that were eligible for EITC in 2020 but did not claim it on their return can amend their 2020 federal and Oregon returns by April 15, 2022 to claim the EITC and still be eligible for the one-time assistance payment. Taxpayers who miss this deadline, and did not receive an Oregon EITC, will not receive a payment.

More information on the one-time assistance payments and amended returns is available on the One Time Assistance Payment webpage.
