my Oregon refund says 952$. However turbo tax says I earned 1,000$ for kids credit and 379$ for Oregon earned income credit. Why isn't the 1379$ being added?

I've always gotten at least 2,000$ for Oregon refund

Typically, the credits that you qualify for are included in the final refund amount. Based on the information you shared, you would have owed the state $427 without qualifying for the credits.

Usually, when we see a decrease in refund year-over-year, it's because of one of a few reasons, either:

- income went up but withholding didn't go up proportionally (or it went down),

- withholding payments went down, or

- credits went down
