Inflation Refund

    As part of the 2025-2026 state budget, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance will be sending out inflation refunds to eligible New Yorkers. 

    There is no application process as residents that are eligible will automatically receive a check in the mail.

    Checks will be mailed out over a period of several weeks starting at the end of September of 2025. You may receive your check sooner or later than your neighbors, as mailings are not based on zip code or region.

    This is not a program being administered by the City of New York. NYC311 is not able to provide the status of your check.

    Learn more about the inflation refund check.

    You are eligible for a refund check if, for tax year 2023, you:

    • filed Form IT-201, New York State Resident Income Tax Return
    • reported income within the qualifying thresholds below, and
    • were not claimed as a dependent on another taxpayer’s return

    Your inflation refund check will be based on your income and filing status.
