Why is my son not eligible for the Additional Automatic Taxpayer refund? He qualifies for it except for not getting Social Security benefits?

He should be able to get the $200 dollar Additional Taxpayer Refund. This makes no sense. Does anyone have a possible answer? Is it because he didn't support himself for at least half the year of 2022?

Senate Enrolled Act (SEA) 2 allows some taxpayers who were not eligible for the initial $125 Automatic Taxpayer Refund to qualify for the $200 Automatic Taxpayer Refund. To qualify, for the $200 Automatic Taxpayer Refund, the taxpayer must have received Social Security benefits in calendar year 2022 and must not be claimed as a dependent on a 2022 Indiana income tax return.

These taxpayers must file a 2022 Indiana resident tax return to claim the $200 Automatic Taxpayer Refund. Instead of a direct payment, they will receive a $200 tax credit toward any additional taxes owed or refund due. Please note that tax returns for 2022 will not be accepted by the Indiana Department of Revenue until mid- to late-January 2023.
