To assist American citizens through the pandemic, many state governments are offering and providing one-time tax rebates and stimulus grants. Due to the rising inflation of the economy, many governments have approved their own stimulus boosts in much smaller amounts (than previous federal checks) to taxpayers who qualify. Here’s a list of states offering inflation relief checks for 2022.
California: California is one of the few states that distributed two rounds of state stimulus checks during the pandemic that’s giving qualified taxpayers tax refunds of up to $1,050. Payments are expected to be sent out between October 2022 and January 2023.
California residents are able to qualify for the CA rebate if they’ve filed their 2020 tax return by October 15, 2021, and meet the adjusted gross income limits. Single taxpayers with annual incomes below $250,000 qualify for at least $200 and if you’ve filed as Head of Household and make less than $500,000 a year or filed jointly, you’re entitled to at least $200 as well.
Colorado: Colorado’s Cash Back tax rebate will be giving individual filers $750 and $1,500 for joint filers by the end of September if they were 18 or older on December 31, 2021, resided in Colorado for the entirety of 2021, and filed a state tax return during the 2021 income year. If Colorado taxpayers filed an extension and met the deadline of October 17 ill be receiving the refund by January 31, 2023. Most filers will receive their money in the form of a direct deposit.

Georgia: Depending on your filing status, individuals are able to receive Georgia’s special one-time tax refund of $250 (single filers), $375 (Head of Household), or $500 (couples filing jointly). Payments are sent out via check or direct deposit in August 2022.

Idaho: At the beginning of the year, Gov. Brad Little signed a bill giving tax filers a one-time payment of $75.

Payments will start being distributed during the month of September and early 2023.

Recently in August, the Indiana legislature passed the second round of rebates which added on $200 for single filers and another $400 for joint filers. In total, Indiana residents will be receiving $325 as a single filer through direct deposit or check and $650 for couples filing jointly through direct deposit or check.

Checks were sent out in June 2022 and will be distributed in waves until the end of the ear.
Massachusetts: In late October, the Massachusetts legislature will finalize the details and time frame of the rebate amount. Earlier this Spring, Massachusetts already sent $500 stimulus checks to low-income workers.
New Jersey: Taxpayers with at least dependent claimed on their 2020 income tax return will be receiving $500 in child tax credits. New Jersey’s Affordable New Jersey Communities for Homeowners and Renters (ANCHOR) Program is giving back $2 billion in property tax relief for New Jersey homeowners and renters. Homeowners who earn up to $150k will be given $1,500 for the relief check whereas those who earn between $150k – $250k will receive $1,000.

Pennsylvania: An upcoming rebate is available to older and/or disabled taxpayers in Pennsylvania. Taxpayers who own their homes and are at least 65 years old or have a surviving spouse who is at least 50 years old are eligible. Adults 18 and older with a disability are also eligible. If you received the maximum $650 rebate in 2021, you’ll get $445 this time around.
South Carolina: A bill that was approved in South Carolina in June enables taxpayers to get back up to $800 in income tax. If you have already submitted your South Carolina 2021 income tax forms, you will automatically receive the income tax refund check. Rebates will be distributed by the state in November and December.
Virginia: Residents of Virginia who had a tax liability last year (or the amount of tax you owe less any credits) are eligible for a one-time payment of up to $250 for single filers and up to $500 for joint filers. The deadline to file and be eligible for a rebate is November 1. The state is disbursing rebates in the order that it receives returns.
