After a period of inflation that affected many families and individuals in the US, IRS decided to distribute Stimulus checks to the people who were most impacted by its hard-hitting effects. Quite a few states continue to provide tax refunds to qualified citizens even though inflation has recently dropped significantly. The states which will be carrying on with their process of distribution of funds are Colorado, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and some others.
