The Department of Administration and Department of Revenue and Taxation have released $15,400,082.66 in tax refunds for taxpayers who filed error-free returns on or before March 9, 2025, which includes 4,410 checks and 1,572 electronic payment refunds. 

Those receiving refunds via direct deposit will notice a $0 transaction in their bank account before the funds are deposited.

DOA and DRT are also pleased to announce the introduction of new check forms for refunds.

Implementation of new technology prints and seals checks that are ready for mailing and incorporates check stubs that detail the relevant tax year of the refund and included interest, if any. 

A sample of the new check forms are included below. Taxpayers are advised to follow the instructions for opening the forms printed on the outside and deposit checks with financial institutions as usual.

Taxpayers can look up the status of their return online at myguamtax.com. The status will indicate whether the return is error-free (A Status), or if there are issues that need to be resolved. 

In the event that there are issues with the tax return, DRT will send a notice to that taxpayer through postal mail. A taxpayer will only receive notification from DRT in this manner.

DRT advises taxpayers to ensure their mailing address is current. If there are changes to the taxpayer’s address, these changes MUST be made in person at DRT. This is done to safeguard the taxpayers’ personal information. 

DRT continues to receive and process 2024 income tax returns, and taxpayers have up until the extension deadline of October 15, 2025 to file. 

Those who are filing with Form 1040 or Form 1040SR are encouraged to file online by logging on to myguamtax.com. ALL questions must be answered, including the Earned Income Credit portion, regardless of whether taxpayers qualify for it or not. 

Failure to answer all questions can delay or result in the outcome of a tax return.
