With the ever-changing economic situation, numerous US states are stepping up to provide financial comfort to their inhabitants in November 2024 through stimulus payments in the form of tax rebates.
These tax breaks are intended to give critical support to families and individuals, demonstrating each state’s unique strategy for allocating surplus funds or prolonging ongoing assistance programs.
Tax rebates as stimulus checks
In New Mexico, a rebate program has been introduced for residents who filed their state taxes by May 31, 2024. This initiative provides:
- Up to $1,000 for married couples filing jointly, heads of households, and surviving spouses.
- Up to $500 for single filers and married couples filing separately.
Payments will be delivered immediately once the tax returns have been filed, ensuring that eligible residents receive their monies as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Arizona is implementing the Families Tax Rebate as part of its fiscal 2024 budget, which will benefit roughly 743,000 individuals. The program includes:
- A stimulus payment of $250 for each dependent under the age of 17.
- A stimulus payment of $100 for dependents over the age of 17.
The rebates are based on 2021 tax returns and are intended to help families in need. Residents can anticipate the payments to begin in November.
Colorado’s Continued Commitment to Taxpayer Relief
Colorado is once again operating its TABOR refund program, which aims to return surplus state revenue to taxpayers. In 2024, single filers will receive a $847 return, while joint filers can expect $1,694.
This year’s noteworthy change is the equal distribution of stimulus payments, which ensures that lower-income households receive a rise in their refunds.
Maryland’s Child Tax Credit Enhancement
Families in Maryland stand to benefit from an extended child tax credit scheme that will run until 2024. Eligible taxpayers may get up to $500 for each child under the age of six or for disabled children.
This effort is part of Governor Wes Moore‘s broader strategy to address child poverty, with the goal of assisting about 40,000 residents across the state.
California’s Generous Tax Credits for Families
The 2024 California budget includes a one-time child tax credit of up to $3,600 per qualified child. In addition, the state is providing a young child tax credit of up to $1,083 to families with children under the age of six who are eligible for the California earned income tax credit.
