A PROVISION OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT MEANS QUITE A FEW TAXPAYERS WILL BE RECEIVING THE AUTOMATIC REFUND SAYS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE SPOKESPERSON MAURA KOWNACKI (kuh-nacky).

KOWNACKI (kuh-nacky) SAYS NO ACTION IS NEEDED.

THE STATE WILL BE NOTIFYING AN ESTIMATED 33-HUNDRED TAXPAYERS WHO FILED PAPER RETURNS THAT THEY WILL NEED TO SUBMIT AN AMENDED RETURN TO GET THE REFUND.
