Rebate check from state should arrive by end of next month

You should have your rebate check from the state by the end of next month — and might get it by the end of next week.
Some Hoosiers still haven’t gotten their automatic 125-dollar tax rebate from earlier this year, in part because of a paper shortage. State Auditor Tera Klutz says that turns out to be a blessing in disguise: the state’s vendor got the needed paper last week, just in time for legislators to finalize the additional 200-dollar rebate. If the state had been starting from scratch, Klutz says it would have taken until May to send out the 200-dollar checks. Instead, she says both rebates will be rolled into a single check, with the first checks to be printed and mailed on Monday.
Klutz says her office plans to print 50-thousand checks a day starting Monday. At that pace, it should have all the checks mailed out in seven weeks. The state says to call if you don’t have yours by October 17.
Hoosiers who received the first rebate by direct deposit will receive the second rebate that way too.
Klutz says the Indiana Department of Revenue will spend this week entering the final rebate amount into its taxpayer data files, and adjusting for changes like no-longer-active bank accounts or unpaid child support to be deducted from the checks.
People who didn’t file a tax return are still eligible for the 200-dollar rebate, but will have to file a return next year to claim it.
