Filing your Oregon state income tax return

Generally, the filing status used on your state return is the same as the filing status used on your federal return. There are a few exemptions to this rule. These exemptions either involve being married but living in different states or having a spouse int he military.

Likewise, whether you take the standard deduction or itemize your deduction dictates the method you should use for your Oregon state income tax return.

Oregon offers its residents several tax credits and deductions. For a full list consult the state website. Below is a partial listing of the more common credits and deductions available.

  • Child and dependent care credit
  • Earned income credit
  • Credit for Home Care of a Person Age 60 or Older
  • Credit for Income Taxes Paid to Another State
  • Long-term Care Insurance Premiums Tax Credit
  • Reforestation Tax Credit
  • Oregon medical deduction

As a resident of Oregon you are taxed on all income, this includes income from outside the state. This means that taxable retirement income is taxable to Oregon.

Nonresidents of Oregon owe tax on any income earned from a source located within the state.
