Meanwhile, millions of Americans are now eligible for inflation relief checks and stimulus payments. The New York Post indicates that a number of states are offering inflation relief checks for residents. In Massachusetts, the state will provide eligible taxpayers with a refund that totals up to 14.0312% of their personal income tax liability. All of this happens to be based on their 2021 tax returns. The state must return to taxpayers a portion of excess tax revenue if the revenue collection exceeds the annual tax revenue cap.
Last October, a number of states were lined up to offer stimulus checks to their residents. Amounts ranged from $3,200 in Alaska to $50 in Illinois. While the check does come from a stimulus program. it might be named something else.
