NEW YORK (WABC) — Starting Friday, New York State will begin mailing its first-ever inflation refund checks to 8.2 million households.<\/p>\n
To be eligible, you must have filed form IT-201 for the 2023 tax year, have income that falls within the qualifying range and have not been claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return.<\/p>\n
Joint filers with income up to $150,000 will receive a $400 check.<\/p>\n
Joint filers with income over $150,000 but no greater than $300,000 will receive a $300 check.<\/p>\n
Single filers making up to $75,000 will get $200 and single filers making $75,000 to $150,00 will get a $150 check.<\/p>\n
There are no age restrictions.<\/p>\n
Filers do not have to do anything to receive an inflation refund check.<\/p>\n
Checks will be mailed across the state starting Friday and will continue throughout October and November.<\/p>\n
Governor Kathy Hochul enacted the initiative as part of the ongoing commitment to put money back into the pockets of New Yorkers.<\/p>\n
“I’ll never stop fighting to help your family address the rising cost of living – and that’s why I also delivered on my promise to cut taxes for the middle class, expand the child tax credit and ensure free school meals for every student,” Hochul said.<\/p>\n
