Is the Oregon kicker credit showing in your state returns? I cannot see it in mine currently for 2024.

The OR kicker is every other year---in odd number years.   There was a kicker for 2023.  No kicker for 2024.  Try again next year for 2025.

Why does it say on the Oregon Revenue website that there is a kicker for 2024?  And I'm also not seeing it reflected on Turbo Tax this year.

Oregon "Kicker" Tax Credit

In 2024, eligible Oregon taxpayers will receive a “kicker" tax credit. Your kicker is either included in your refund or it will reduce the amount of tax you owe.

The Oregon “kicker" tax credit is how the state returns money to taxpayers when there is a revenue surplus. You need to have filed a 2022 tax return to get the kicker credit on your 2023 tax return.

Use our What's My Kicker? calculator to check your kicker amount.

That was for the kicker you could get on a 2023 tax return that you prepared in 2024.

Oregon does issue of kicker for 2024, but it does not show up in Turbo Tax. The line is grayed out.

This is a big kicker, what is happening?

[DawnC]

Oregon operates on a two-year budget cycle, so the kicker can only be triggered in odd-numbered tax years when the cycle restarts. The last kicker came in early 2024 when Oregonians were filing their 2023 taxes, so the next one — if it triggers — will be next year, when Oregonians file their taxes for 2025.

The kicker credit is issued every 2 years when there is a tax surplus that exceeds the forecast by more than 2%.   See Two Percent Kicker history.

The statement that the Oregon kicker is everything other year is utter bull**bleep**. 

[reichardandassociates]

This is a false statement. The kicker occurs whenever there is a surplus of more than 10% in tax revenue. It is NOT an every other year thing. you are peddling false information.

Please see THIS FAQ from Oregon's Revenue Department explaining that the credit is claimed on the tax return only for odd years.  There is no 2024 kicker for Oregon, per the department's website.   Note the statement in bold at the top (which appears to have been recently added, due to some confusion)

This can be a bit confusing because the odd year reference refers to the tax year, not the year in which the return is filed.  In 2024, residents applied for and received the kicker for the 2023 tax year.  Refrences on the Oregon revenue site to claiming the "2024" credit refer to claiming the 2023 tax year credits on return that were filed in 2024.

Oregon Surplus Refund (“Kicker”)

About the kicker

The Oregon surplus refund, also known as the “kicker,” is a way for the state to return excess revenue to taxpayers. The kicker may be claimed on the return for an odd-numbered year when a revenue surplus has been determined. The kicker isn’t available on the return for an even-numbered year, so there is no kicker available on your 2024 return. 

For more information, see our FAQ. If a kicker will be available for tax year 2025, the percentage amount will beannounced in November 2025. If a kicker is announced, we’ll provide a “What's My Kicker?” calculator at that time.

Yep. I was wrong!
