County opens temporary refund window for potential Preschool for All overwithholding in 2021–22
Summary
On first reading the board approved a temporary code change allowing taxpayers who overwithheld Preschool for All in 2021–22 to file for refunds if they submit returns by April 15, 2027; county staff said the change aligns with Portland and Metro outreach.
The Multnomah County Board advanced a first reading of an ordinance to permit targeted refunds for individuals who may have overpaid Preschool for All taxes through employer withholding in tax years 2021 and 2022.
Eric Araniano, the county’s chief financial officer, told commissioners that employers and the county observed some early‑implementation overwithholding during the program’s rollout; the proposed amendment would temporarily extend the refund filing window for those two years to April 15, 2027, so affected taxpayers can assess eligibility and request reimbursement. The change is meant to align county code with outreach conducted by the City of Portland and Metro, which identified cases of employer withholding that should be corrected.
Commissioners expressed support for making taxpayers whole when overwithholding occurred; the board approved the first reading and scheduled a second reading for Aug. 27.
