The deadline to claim a Massachusetts tax rebate is in one week.

Eligible taxpayers in the state can receive roughly 14% of their Massachusetts personal income tax liability for the tax year 2021. Anyone who paid personal income taxes in Massachusetts for the 2021 tax year is eligible for the rebate, according to the Massachusetts government website.

The distribution of funds began on Nov. 1, 2022. Eligible residents who file before Sept. 15 can expect their money within a month of filing.

The rebate was made law in 1986 through Chapter 62F, which requires the government to issue a tax credit if the state revenue exceeds an annual cap tied to wage and salary growth. Since being enacted, it has only been triggered once, in 1987.

Revenue during fiscal 2022 exceeded the cap set by Chapter 62F by roughly $2.9 billion.

Those eligible for the rebate will be sent a check through the mail or have the money directly deposited into their bank account.

The refund will not be treated as taxable income.
