Oregon.gov says there should be a kicker credit for the 2023 filing if you paid taxes in '22, but the system did not ask me when I filed...?

[dothevirgo]

I paid state taxes in 2022. The system never asked me anything about it that I recall. Wondering how I can ensure that everything I am entitled to is accounted for.

To be eligible for a kicker, you must: 

1. File your 2022 Oregon return before you file your 2023 return. 

2. Have an Oregon tax liability for 2022. 

3. File a 2023 Oregon return, even if you don’t otherwise have a filing requirement.

Kicker credit is reported on your OR-40 form line 38
