Massachusetts gives a new update on tax refund along with a helpline number for queries

The refund rollout has left a lot of questions for Massachusetts taxpayers, who are worried about where their checks are.

WBZ-TV recently approached the state for clarification, and according to the updates coming from last week, the Department of Revenue sent around 1.3 million automatic refunds summing up to $1.2 billion from the budget surplus. Most of the refunds are paper checks and not direct deposits. In that case, taxpayers must check their mailboxes.

The data shows that the state is halfway through the list of all those who have to get rebates. According to their prediction, the payments will be completed by December 15. Around 3 million taxpayers are expected to get back 14% of everything they paid for personal income tax last year following the obscure law approved by voters in 1986.

Massachusetts also created a refund estimator that will assist taxpayers in understanding what a rebate is. In case of any other queries, people can call 877-677-9727 for their answers and everything they get to know about refunds, except that they won’t be able to provide the exact refund amounts. The line is open on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A state webpage about Chapter 62F offers a refund estimator tool. According to the webpage,

“The Department of Revenue does not initiate contact with taxpayers by email, text messages, or social media channels to request personal or financial information. Note that there is no system through which you can check the status of your 62F refund.”

The Baker administration started to distribute tax refunds this month under a 1980s tax cap law known as Chapter 62F, which this year needed almost $3 billion in excess state revenues to be returned to Bay Staters.

The Department of Revenue reported last month that they aimed to ship around 500,000 refunds in the first week of distribution, followed by 1 million repayments in subsequent weeks until all currently eligible refunds have been distributed.
