Donate your kicker by mistake? Feb. 1st Deadline

by Tryan Hartill

Some taxpayers who electronically filed their 2006 personal income tax returns report that their kicker refund was donated by mistake to the State School Fund.

These taxpayers state that they didn’t check the box to donate their refund, even though the tax return we received shows the box checked.

If you didn’t check the box on your tax return to donate your kicker and you received a notice from us saying your kicker was donated to the State School Fund, you may ask for your kicker back by doing all of the following:

1. Make a copy of the front page only of your 2006 Oregon tax return (Form 40S, 40, 40P, or 40N) that shows that you did not check the “donate kicker” box; write “kicker” plainly across the top of the copy of the return.
2. On the back of the tax return copy, write: “I certify that I did not check the box to donate my tax year 2006 kicker to the State School Fund.”
3. Sign and legibly print your name, and include the date. If you filed jointly, both spouses must sign and date.
4. Mail the copy of your tax return with the certification statement on the back, along with the letter you receive from the department, to:

Oregon Department of Revenue
PO Box 14600
Salem OR 97309-5049

Please do not e-mail or fax us this information.

Your envelope must be postmarked by February 1, 2008.

We will send your kicker to you within 3-4 weeks from the date we receive your information. If you owe a debt that the state of Oregon collects, your kicker could be smaller than expected.

Questions?

Please send an email to questions.dor@state.or.us. Write “State School Fund” in the subject line.
