Instead of direct refund check payments to taxpayers (which were stopped in 2011), the Oregon state income tax "Kicker" is a tax credit, and it reduces your Oregon state income tax liability for the year being filed. The Kicker occurs when the state experiences a budget surplus by the end of a year. Instead of reportable income, the Kicker represents a reduction in the amount of state income tax you paid that is deductible on your federal income tax return (if you itemize), for the tax year being filed. If you don't itemize on your federal income tax return and only take the federal standard deduction, then there should be no impact to your federal income tax return.
