A one-time tax rebate for residents of Hawaii was delayed for some by a week due to a paper shortage, with the paper checks arriving beginning next week.
The Aloha State’s Department of Taxation has sent out 282,887 direct deposits and 6,162 paper checks, amounting to $161,183,700, as of Oct. 10.

Paper stock shortages are what have prevented the state from sending the next round of paper checks, per Hawaii News Now. The next round will be sent out the week of Oct. 17.
The state says all of those who filed their 2021 tax refunds prior to Aug. 31 have already received their rebates, both for people who opted for a paper check or a direct deposit. Taxpayers who have not filed have until Dec. 31 to submit their tax returns in order to receive a rebate.
The rebate amount varies by income amount. Individual filers making under $100,000 per year and joint filers making less than $200,000 can expect a $300 rebate. Those making over $100,000 and joint filers making more than $200,000 will receive a $100 rebate.

Those who file tax returns from now until Dec. 31 can expect a paper check up to 12 weeks after they file their 2021 taxes. This tax rebate is one of the various other initiatives in which states are giving money back to taxpayers.
