With the holiday season just around the corner, hundreds of thousands of families in New York State<\/strong> are still checking their mailboxes with anticipation: approximately 600,000 inflation tax refund checks<\/strong> have not yet been sent by the state’s Tax Department, according to the most recent figures provided by Governor Kathy Hochul’s office<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The program, which marks the first initiative of its kind in the state’s history<\/strong>, plans to distribute a total of 8.2 million<\/strong> tax refund checks<\/strong> to eligible households. So far, approximately 7.6 million -that means that over 92%- are already on their way or in the hands of taxpayers.<\/p>\n

The remaining mailings will be concentrated primarily in late November and early December<\/strong>, prioritizing those who filed their 2023 tax returns later, including those with extensions through October 2025.<\/p>\n

NY inflation refund checks: Where does the money come from?<\/h2>\n

These refunds are not a new tax or a loan: they come directly from the surplus in sales tax revenue generated by inflation in recent years<\/strong>. As prices for goods and services rose, the state collected billions of dollars in extra sales tax revenue without having raised tax rates.<\/p>\n

Governor Hochul<\/strong> defended the measure as a way to \u201cgive back to those who really earned it<\/strong>\u201d: working families in New York. The total cost of the program is around$3 billion, included in the 2025-2026 state budget.<\/p>\n

How much money does each household receive?<\/h2>\n

The amount is not the same for everyone and depends on the adjusted gross income (AGI) reported on the 2023 tax return and marital status:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
Marital status<\/b><\/td>\nAnnual income \u2264 $75,000<\/b><\/td>\nIncome $75,001 \u2013 $150,000<\/b><\/td>\nIncome $150,001 \u2013 $300,000<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Single \/ Head of household<\/b><\/td>\n$300<\/span><\/td>\n$150<\/span><\/td>\nNot eligible<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Married couple declaring jointly<\/b><\/td>\n$400<\/span><\/td>\n$300<\/span><\/td>\n$150<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

To be eligible, you also had to have been a full-time resident in New York throughout 2023<\/strong>, have filed Form IT-201<\/strong>, and not have been declared as a dependent on someone else’s tax return.<\/p>\n

Why haven’t some received it yet?<\/h2>\n

The Tax Department processes refunds in waves based on the date the 2023 tax return was received and validated. Those who filed early (February-April 2024)<\/strong> received their checks in October.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, those who filed later with an extension or on paper are now at the back of the line. \u201cIt\u2019s not by zip code or alphabetical order, it\u2019s strictly chronological<\/strong>,\u201d a department spokesperson explained.<\/p>\n

If you qualify and haven’t received your check yet, don’t worry: it will arrive by regular mail (not direct deposit)<\/strong> before the end of the year. However, keep an eye on your mailbox and beware of scams: the government never calls or sends text messages asking for bank details in exchange for a refund.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
