For example, if your filing status was Single in 2020 and Head of Household in 2021, you would receive a maximum refund of $250, not a maximum refund of $375 that is allowed for Head of Household filers. No, even though you filed a 2021 return, H.B. 1302 does not allow individuals who were dependents on another individual’s return in 2020 to receive a refund for these amounts.
