Instead of kicker checks, the surplus will be returned to tax- payers through a credit on their 2019 state personal income tax returns filed in 2020. To calculate the amount of your credit, multiply your 2018 tax liability before any credits — line 22 on the 2018 Form OR-40 — by 16 percent. This percent- age is determined and certified by OEA. Taxpayers who claimed a credit for tax paid to another state will need to subtract the credit amount from their liabil- ity before calculating the credit. You’re eligible to claim the kicker if you filed a 2018 tax return and had tax due before credits. Even if you don’t have a filing obligation for 2019, you still must file a 2019 tax return to claim your credit. There will be detailed infor- mation on how to claim your credit in the 2019 Oregon per- sonal income tax return instruc- tions: Form OR-40 for full-year Oregon residents, Form OR- 40-P for part-year residents, and Form OR-40-N for nonres- idents. Composite and fiducia- ry-income tax return filers are also eligible. Keep in mind that the state may use all or part of your kick- er to pay any state debt you owe, such as tax due for other years, child support, court fines or school loans. A What’s My Kicker? calcula- tor will be active on Revenue’s website for personal income tax filers when filing season opens in January. To calculate your kicker, you’ll enter your name, Social Securi- ty Number, and filing status for 2018 and 2019. Visit www.oregon.gov/dor to get tax forms, check the status of your refund, or make tax pay- ments; call 800-356-4222 toll- free from an Oregon prefix (En- glish or Spanish); 503-378-4988 in Salem and outside Oregon; or email questions.dor@oregon. gov.

This free bus service, for cancer patients who are receiving radiation treatment, oper- ates Monday through Fri- day all year long. A driver’s shift requires approximate- ly five hours, from 7:30 a.m. to noon. Volunteers typically drive once per month. “Cancer patients have to travel to Eugene or Springfield daily for these radiation treatments—it’s 160 miles roundtrip from Florence,” said Bart Mealer, Chief Operating Officer for the organization. “Riding the bus helps ease the stress during this difficult time.” The Friends’ bus is a 14-passenger vehicle. A commercial driver’s license is not required. “It’s about the same size as a small RV,” Mealer added. For over 33 years, the Friends of Florence, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, has transported patients roundtrip from Florence to the Willamette Valley Cancer Institute and to the Oregon Urology Institute. The bus leaves from Peace- Health Peace Harbor Hos- pital and, when requested, has pick-up locations in Mapleton and Veneta. The Friends maintain about 22 active drivers. “Riding the bus also of- fers companionship for patients who are making this trip every day. It shows them that they’re not alone,” said Mealer. “It’s a traveling support group.” Those interested in driving or who would like to learn more about the Friends of Florence, con- tact Mealer at 541-997- 8663.
