New Mexico's Tax Package: Updates and Concerns from the Governor

New Mexicans will receive another round of relief in the form of tax rebates, with single tax filers receiving $500 and married couples, heads of households, and surviving spouses receiving $1,000. The rebates will be automatic for those who have filed regular tax returns, while those who are not required to file income tax returns can apply for relief from a $15 million pool administered by the state's Human Services Department. The relief is part of a larger tax package, House Bill 547, which also includes a boost in child income tax credits.
