Important Announcements

​The refunds are not taxable as income at the state level.

All tax refunds, including the 62F refunds, are taxable by the federal government to the extent that the recipient claimed itemized deductions on his or her federal return for Tax Year 2021, including his or her state income tax. Refund recipients who itemized on their federal returns for Tax Year 2021 will receive a Form 1099-G from the Department of Revenue by January 31 of the year following the year in which the refund was received.

MA - Chapter 62F Taxpayer Refunds

Eligible taxpayers will receive a credit in the form of a refund of 14.0312% of their Massachusetts personal income tax liability for Tax Year 2021. This percentage was finalized by the Department of Revenue after the 2021 individual tax return filing extension deadline of October 17, 2022. Please note that credits may be reduced due to refund intercepts, including for unpaid tax liability, unpaid child support, and certain other debts.

​​Distribution of refunds will begin on November 1, 2022 – eligible taxpayers will receive their refund automatically through direct deposit or as a check sent through the mail. If you have already filed your 2021 tax return and you had a tax liability, no action is needed, and you should receive your refund by mid-December of 2022.  If you have not yet filed your 2021 return, you are still eligible if you file by September 15, 2023 and, if eligible for a refund, you should receive it approximately one month after you file.
