Oregon Kicker not included in refund

gwasser — Sun, 08 Mar 2026 00:16:17 GMT

Hello - The Oregon kicker is not included in my state refund. I shared my file with an agent and hoping to get this resolved.

I qualify for the kicker and it shows up in my return but my refund amount does not change. Why does it say $457 when my kicker is $874? Some of the $457 has been deducted to pay for Turbo Tax, etc. But I was still left over with $200-ish, which would still be more than what is showing. I've gone through everything except submitting it to file so it should have changed.

The reason why your refund is showing $457 could be because you had a balance due to Oregon of $417 before the kicker was applied. Once the $874 was added to the balance due, that would be a $457 refund.

You had mentioned that you share your file with an agent. If you did that, would you please provide us with the token number that you got when you did that, so that we could take a closer look at a sanitized version of your tax return? If you don't have the token number, you could share the file with agent agent. Then write down the token number and send that token number back in your reply to this message.

Hi @RogerD1

Token #1338154

Appreciate the response! So weird that I owed that much to start...last year I didn't owe anything and nothing has changed with my filing status or family/house/dependents.

Thank you for checking into this!

I was able to view the sanitized version of your tax return with the token that you provided. I am able to view the Oregon forms in your return and the Kicker is being applied to your Oregon return. Had you not received the Kicker you would have had a balance due to Oregon of $417 - once the Kicker of $874 is applied, that balance due becomes a $457 refund. You can print or save a copy of your return documents by going into your TurboTax account, then click on Tax Tools on the left side menu, then scroll down to click on Print center. This will allow you to view your Oregon Form 40. Your tax liability will appear on line 31, with the Kicker on line 32 and the tax withheld on line 33 to verify that the Kicker was applied and that your refund of $457 on line 41 is correct.
