Several states are issuing year-end tax rebates and relief payments to residents.

These are state programs, not federal tax refunds, and come from surpluses, dividend programs, or inflation relief measures.

Payments are arriving now through December, and in some cases, early January.

Eligibility

• Varies by state

• Factors include income caps, filing history, residency, and program-specific rules
