Oregon Form 40 Instructions

New information

Special Oregon medical deduction. The special Oregon medical deduction is no longer available. The deduction has been replaced with a subtraction (code 351) that is limited to a maximum of $1,800 per taxpayer age 62 or older on December 31, 2013, with qualifying medical and dental expenses. See page 15 for more information.

Personal exemption credit. The personal exemption credit has changed. It is no longer allowed if your federal adjusted gross income exceeds the income threshold for your filing status. See page 20 for more details.

Schedule WFC. The Schedule WFC and instructions are no longer included in this instruction booklet. The schedule and instructions are available on our website at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal.

Registered domestic partners (RDPs). At the time this publication was printed, we were waiting for guidance on the impact of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision regarding the Defense of Marriage Act. For updated information on the impact of that decision and how to file as RDPs, visit our website at www.oregon.gov/dor/ personal and select "Registered domestic partners in Oregon" under Taxpayer Tips.

Income tax booklets. Beginning next year, we will reduce the number of personalized income tax booklets we send to taxpayers in the mail. If you do not receive an income tax booklet, you can download a copy from our website at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal, contact us to order an income tax booklet, or check with your local post office. For contact information, see page 32.

New subtraction. Oregon now allows a subtraction (code 352) for dividend payments received from a domestic international sales corporation (DISC). To claim the subtraction, the dividend payments must be included in your federal adjusted gross income. See page 18 for more details.

New charitable checkoff. You can now donate all or part of your refund to the Veterans Suicide Prevention and Outreach Program. See page 27 for more details.

Charitable checkoffs. The charitable checkoffs listed on Form 40 have changed. See page 27 for details.

Federal tax law

Oregon is tied to the federal definition of taxable income, with two exceptions:

• Internal Revenue Code (IRC) section 139A for federal subsidies for prescription drug plans; and
• IRC section 199 for income attributable to domestic production activities, also known as qualified production activity income (QPAI).

Income under these sections is exempt from tax on the federal return. If you have either of these types of income, you will have an addition on your Oregon tax return. See page 13.

Oregon will automatically adopt any future federal law changes to the definition of taxable income.

What income does Oregon tax?

An Oregon resident is taxed on all income, including income from outside the state. A nonresident of Oregon is taxed only on income from Oregon sources.

Residency

Am I a resident, a nonresident, or a part-year resident? The information below will help you decide.

• You are a full-year Oregon resident, even if you live outside Oregon, if all of the following are true:
  • You think of Oregon as your permanent home, and
  • Oregon is the center of your financial, social, and family life, and
  • Oregon is the place you intend to return to when you are away.
   
• You are still a full-year resident if:
  • You temporarily moved out of Oregon, or
  • You moved back to Oregon after a temporary absence.
   

You may also be considered a full-year resident if you spent more than 200 days in Oregon during 2013 or you are a nonresident alien, as defined by federal law.

• You are a nonresident if your permanent home was outside Oregon all year.
• You are a part-year resident if you moved into or out of Oregon during 2013. You are not considered a part-year resident if:
  • You temporarily moved out of Oregon, or
  • You moved back to Oregon after a temporary absence.
   

Special-case Oregon residents. If you are an Oregon resident and you meet all of the following conditions, you are considered a nonresident for tax purposes.

• You are an Oregon resident who maintained a permanent home outside Oregon the entire year, and
• You did not keep a home in Oregon during any part of 2013, and
• You spent less than 31 days in Oregon during 2013. Important! A recreational vehicle (RV) is not considered a permanent home outside of Oregon.

Oregon residents living abroad. Usually you are considered a nonresident if you qualify for the federal earned income exclusion or housing exclusion for United States residents living abroad.

What form do I use?

Use Form 40 if you are a full-year Oregon resident.

Use Form 40P if any ONE of the following is true:

• You are a part-year resident, or
• You are filing jointly and one of you is a full-year Oregon resident and the other is a part-year resident, or
• You are filing jointly and both of you are part-year Oregon residents, or
• You qualified as an Oregon resident living abroad for part of the year.

Use Form 40N if any ONE of the following is true:

• You are a nonresident, or
• You are a special-case Oregon resident (see "Residency" section), or
• You are filing jointly and one (or both) of you is a nonresident, or
• You meet the military personnel nonresident requirements explained below, or
• You qualified as an Oregon resident living abroad for the entire year.

Forms 40P and 40N are included in the Part-Year Resident and Nonresident booklet. Download the booklet from our website or contact us to order it.

Military personnel

Residents stationed in Oregon. If you are an Oregon resident stationed in Oregon, file Form 40.

Residents stationed outside Oregon. If you meet the requirements on page 4 for special-case Oregon residents or Oregon residents living abroad, file Form 40N from the Part-Year Resident and Nonresident booklet. File Form 40 if you don't meet the listed requirements.

Nonresidents stationed in Oregon. Oregon does not tax your military pay while you are stationed in Oregon. File Form 40N if you had other income from Oregon sources, or to claim a refund of Oregon tax withheld from your military pay.

For more information, go to our website or contact us.

Filing for a deceased person

You must file a final personal income tax return for a person who died during the calendar year if the person would have been required to file. See "Do I need to file?" on page 4. If a return is filed, please check the "deceased" box on the return. If you have been appointed personal representative or you have filed a small estate affidavit, sign the return as "personal representative" and have the spouse/RDP sign if a joint return. If there is no personal representative for a joint return, only the surviving spouse/RDP needs to sign.

For more information, see Survivor's Information on our website.

Are you filing a return and claiming a refund for someone who is now deceased and there is no court- appointed personal representative? If so, file Form 243, Claim to Refund Due a Deceased Person, with the return. This allows us to issue the refund check in your name. Download the form from our website or contact us to order it.

Note: Oregon has an estate transfer tax on estates valued at $1 million or more. The tax is paid by the estate, not by the individuals receiving the inheritance. For more information, check our website or contact us.

When should I file my return?

The filing deadline for calendar year 2013 is April 15, 2014. If you cannot pay all or any of your tax by the due date, it's important to file your return anyway to avoid a late-filing penalty.

Returns for other tax periods are due by the 15th day of the fourth month after the close of your tax year.

What if I need more time to file?

If you need more time to file, request an automatic six- month extension. Complete an Oregon extension form, Form 40-EXT, if:

• You're making a tax payment to Oregon and you can't file your Oregon return by April 15, 2014, or
• You are filing an extension for Oregon only.

Extensions must be filed by the due date of the return, April 15, 2014.

If you received a federal extension and are expecting an Oregon refund, do not use Form 40-EXT. Oregon will allow the same extension. Be sure to check box 7b on your Oregon return. Do not include a copy of your federal extension with your Oregon return. Keep a copy of your federal extension with your records.

If you need to complete Form 40-EXT, download it from our website or contact us to order it.

An extension does not mean more time to pay!

You must pay all tax you expect to owe when you file your extension. If you do not pay all the tax due when you request an extension, you will owe interest on any unpaid tax after April 15, 2014, until the date of your payment. The 2014 rate is 4 percent per year. If the tax is not paid within 60 days of the date of our billing notice, the interest rate increases to 8 percent per year. You may also owe a late-payment penalty. If you cannot pay all of the tax you expect to owe, pay what you can.

Were you stationed in a designated combat zone? If you were stationed in a designated combat zone and received additional time to file your 2013 federal return and pay your 2013 tax, Oregon allows the same amount of time to file and pay. Write "Combat zone" in blue or black ink at the top left corner of your return.

Penalties

You will owe a 5 percent late-payment penalty on any 2013 tax not paid by April 15, 2014, even if you have filed an extension. See page 23.

Oregon does not allow an extension of time to pay even if the IRS allows an extension.

If you file more than three months after the due date (including extensions), a 20 percent late-filing penalty will be added; so, you will owe a total penalty of 25 percent of any tax not paid. A 100 percent penalty is charged if you do not file a return for three consecutive years by the due date of the third year, including extensions.

2014 estimated tax

Estimated tax is the amount of tax you expect to owe after credits and Oregon tax withheld when you file your 2014 Oregon individual income tax return.

Oregon estimated tax laws are not the same as federal estimated tax laws. Use Oregon instructions to determine if you need to make estimated tax payments for 2014.

Do I need to make estimated payments? In most cases, people who expect to owe $1,000 or more on their 2014 Oregon income tax return after credits and withholding must make estimated payments. You may need to make estimated payments if:

• You are self-employed and do not have Oregon tax withheld from your income.
• You receive Oregon Lottery single ticket winnings of less than $5,000. (Note: Single ticket winnings of $5,000 or more are subject to Oregon withholding.)
• You receive income such as pensions, interest, or dividends; Oregon tax is not withheld; and you expect to owe tax of $1,000 or more.
• You're a wage earner and expect to owe tax of $1,000 or more on your 2014 return. You may want to increase the amount your employer withholds from your Oregon wages. Download the publication Oregon Income Tax Withholding from our website or contact us to order it.

When do I pay? Estimated tax due dates for 2014 taxes are April 15, 2014*; June 16, 2014; September 15, 2014; and January 15, 2015.

If paying with a check or money order, send your payment with Form 40-ESV, Oregon Estimated Income Tax Payment Voucher. Download the form from our website or contact us to order it. If you are paying by credit card or electronic payment from your checking or savings account, see page 24.

* Please send your 2014 estimated tax payment and Oregon Form 40-ESV in a separate envelope from your 2013 Oregon income tax return. This will help us credit your payment more efficiently.

Interest on underpayment of estimated tax

You may owe interest for underpaying your estimated tax if:

• You owe $1,000 or more on your return after credits and withholding, or
• You paid less than 90 percent of the tax due on each estimated tax payment due date.

See the instructions for Form 40, line 51, on page 24.

What if I'm self-employed?

If you're self-employed and do business in Multnomah, Clackamas, or Washington counties, you may need to file Form TM, TriMet Self-Employment Tax Return. If you're self-employed and do business in Lane County, you may need to file Form LTD, Lane Transit District Self-Employment Tax Return. Go to our website to download the forms, or contact us to order either form.

What if I need to change my Oregon return after filing?

File an amended return. Use Form 40 to change (amend) your full-year resident return. Check the amended return box in the upper left corner of the form. You must also complete and include the Oregon Amended Schedule with your amended return. For prior year tax booklets or the Oregon Amended Schedule, please visit our website or contact us.

Bankruptcy

If you are filing a short year return due to bankruptcy, write "Bankruptcy - short year return" in blue or black ink at the top of your return.

General instructions for Form 40

Step 1: Fill out your federal form

Complete your federal return first. Do this even if you are not required to file a federal form. You must use the information from your federal return to complete your Oregon return. You must include a copy (front and back) of your federal Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, or 1040NR-EZ with your Oregon Form 40. Do not include any federal schedules. We may ask you for copies of schedules or additional information later.

Registered domestic partners (RDPs): To correctly determine your Oregon tax liability, you must complete a federal income tax return "as if" you were married filing jointly or married filing separately. Information for the "as if" return comes from the federal returns each partner filed with the IRS. Use all the same IRS rules and procedures that apply to married couples. Important! Do not file this "as if" form with the IRS. Use the information you calculated on the "as if" federal return to complete your Oregon income tax return, unless otherwise indicated.

For more information on how to file as an RDP, visit our website at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal and select "Registered domestic partners in Oregon" under Taxpayer Tips.

Step 2: Select the appropriate form

To decide which form to use, see page 5.

Step 3: Fill out the Oregon form

Use blue or black ink only. Please use blue or black ink for easier reading and faster processing. Equipment used to scan documents and checks cannot read gel ink or certain colors and using them will delay the processing of your return.

Amended return

If you are amending your 2013 return, check the box in the upper left corner and include the Oregon Amended Schedule with your amended return. You can find the Oregon Amended Schedule on our website at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal .

Fiscal year filers only

Write the ending date of your fiscal year in the space provided. Write "Fiscal year" in blue or black ink at the top left corner of your return.

Name and address

Type or clearly print your name, Social Security number, date of birth, complete mailing address, and daytime telephone number on your return. If you are married/RDP filing separately, do not fill in your spouse's/RDP's name and SSN here. Enter it on line 3 instead. If the taxpayer died in 2013 or 2014, please check the "deceased" box next to their name.

Social Security number (SSN). The request for your SSN is authorized by Section 405, Title 42, of the United States Code. You must provide this information. It will be used to establish your identity for tax purposes only.

Individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). If the IRS issued you an ITIN because you don't have a Social Security number, enter your ITIN wherever your SSN is requested.

If you don't have an ITIN, you need to request one from the IRS. In this case, write "Applied for" wherever your SSN is requested and file your return by April 15, 2014. Do not include your ITIN application (federal Form W-7) with your Oregon tax return. For a copy of Form W-7, go to the IRS website at www.irs. gov, or call the IRS toll-free at 1-800-829-1040. When the IRS issues you an ITIN, send a copy of your ITIN letter to the Oregon Department of Revenue. Refunds will not be issued without a valid SSN or ITIN.

Date of birth. Enter the month, day, and year you were born. For example, "09/22/1976."

Check the boxes

Filing status 1-5: Check the box next to your filing status. You must use the same filing status for your Oregon and federal returns.

Exception for registered domestic partners (RDPs). As an RDP, you are not eligible to use the single filing status. For Oregon, you are generally required to use one of the following filing statuses: registered domestic partners filing jointly or registered domestic partner filing separately.

For more information, go to our website or contact us.

Exceptions for married/RDP persons when each person has a different residency status:

• Full-year resident and part-year resident. You may file separate Oregon returns. If you file separate returns for Oregon, you must use the married/RDP filing separately status. The full-year resident will file Form 40, and the part-year resident will file Form 40P. If you choose to file a joint return for Oregon, use Form 40P.
• Full-year resident and nonresident. You may file separate Oregon returns. If you file separate returns for Oregon, you must use the married/RDP filing separately status. The full-year resident will file Form 40, and the nonresident will file Form 40N. If you choose to file a joint return for Oregon, use Form 40N.
• Part-year resident and nonresident. You may file separate Oregon returns. If you file separate returns for Oregon, you must use the married/RDP filing separately status. The part-year resident will file Form 40P, and the nonresident will file Form 40N. If you choose to file a joint return for Oregon, use Form 40N.

How to file separate returns for Oregon

If you file separate returns for Oregon only, report your own share of federal adjusted gross income (AGI) and deductions. Also, report your share of any Oregon additions or subtractions using this formula to determine your percentage:

Your share of federal AGI / Joint federal AGI = Your percentage (not to exceed 100%)

Write "MFS/RDP for Oregon only" in blue or black ink at the top left corner of your return. Include the following with both Oregon returns:

• A federal Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, or 1040NR-EZ prepared "as if" you had filed married/ RDP filing separately, and
• A copy of the joint Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, or 1040NR-EZ you actually filed with the IRS.

If possible, mail both spouses'/RDPs' Oregon returns in the same envelope. Do not staple the returns together.

For more information, visit our website.

If you are married/RDP filing separately, fill in your spouse's/RDP's first name, last name (first four letters only), and Social Security number under box 3a or 3b. Do not fill in your spouse's/RDP's name or Social Security number in the heading of the return.

If you are filing as head of household, fill in the name of a person who qualifies you for head of household filing status next to box 4. Please enter only one name.

Exemptions

6a & 6b: Yourself and spouse/RDP. Check "Yourself" and other boxes that apply. If someone else can claim you as a dependent (even if they did not), do not check "Yourself;" instead enter -0- in the total box on 6a unless you have a severe disability.

Severely disabled. Did you have a severe disability at the end of 2013? If so, you may claim an additional exemption. This is different from the disabled child exemption. You may qualify for and claim the severely disabled exemption even if someone else can claim you as a dependent. You are considered to have a severe disability if any of the following apply:

• You permanently lost the use of one or both feet; or
• You permanently lost the use of both hands; or
• You're permanently blind; or
• You have a permanent condition that, without special equipment or outside help, limits your ability to earn a living, maintain a household, or transport yourself; or
• You are unable to earn a living due to a permanent condition or impairment of indefinite duration.

If you have a severe disability, your physician must write a letter describing it. Keep the letter with your permanent records in case we request a copy.

If you qualify, check the "severely disabled" exemption box on line 6a. If your spouse or RDP qualifies, check the "severely disabled" exemption box on line 6b. You and your spouse/RDP may also qualify for the loss of use of limbs credit.

6c: All dependents. Enter the number of your dependents in box 6c. Write their first names on the line. In most cases, you must claim the same dependents claimed on your federal return. If the first names of your dependents do not fit on the line, write the names on a statement instead. Number the statement and include it with your return. Write "STM" and the statement number on line 6c.

6d: Children with a disability. You may be entitled to an additional personal exemption for your dependent child who has a qualifying disability. To qualify, all of the following must be true:

• Your child qualified as your dependent for 2013, and
• Your child was eligible for "early intervention services" or received special education as defined by the State Board of Education of the state where the child attends school, and
• Your child has a disability as of December 31, 2013 under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Act. Eligible disabilities include:
  • Autism.
  • Deaf-blind.
  • Hearing impairment.
  • Mental retardation.
  • Multiple disabilities.
  • Orthopedic impairment.
  • Other health impairment.
  • Serious emotional disturbance.
  • Traumatic brain injury.
  • Visual impairment.
   

Note: Learning disabilities or communication disorders alone do not qualify.

You must get a statement of eligibility that confirms one of the disabilities listed and a cover sheet from one of the following:

• The child's Individualized Education Program (IEP), or
• The child's Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP).

Keep the statement and cover sheet with your permanent records. Write your disabled child's name on line 6d, "Disabled children only." If the first names of your disabled children do not fit on the line, write the names on a separate statement instead. Number the statement and include it with your return. Write "STM" and the statement number on line 6d. Also be sure to include the same child's name on line 6c for "All dependents."

7a: Age 65 or older, or blind. Check the boxes on line 7a if you or your spouse/RDP were age 65 or older or were blind on December 31, 2013. You are entitled to a larger standard deduction on Form 40, line 26. If you or your spouse/RDP are permanently blind, you may also qualify for the severely disabled exemption credit. See box 6a and 6b instructions.

7b: Extension. If you filed for an extension, check box 7b. For more information, see page 5.

7c: Federal Form 8886. Check box 7c if you filed federal Form 8886, Reportable Transaction Disclosure Statement.

7d: Dependent. If your parents or someone else can claim you as a dependent (even if they did not), you can't claim an exemption for yourself. Check box 7d and enter -0- in the total box on line 6a, unless you are severely disabled.

Form 40 line instructions

The following instructions are for lines not fully explained on the form. For general Form 40 instructions, see page 11.

Do not fill in cents. You must round off cents to the nearest dollar. For example, $99.49 becomes $99.00, and $99.50 becomes $100.00.

8. Federal adjusted gross income. Enter your federal adjusted gross income from Form 1040, line 37; Form 1040A, line 21; Form 1040EZ, line 4; Form 1040NR, line 36; or Form 1040NR-EZ, line 10. You must include a copy (front and back) of your federal return with your Oregon Form 40. This helps us verify your income and process your return faster.

Additions

Generally, additions are items not taxed by the federal government, but taxed by Oregon. Additions increase the income taxed by Oregon.

9. Interest and dividends on state and local government bonds outside of Oregon. You must add to Oregon income any interest and dividends you received from state and local governments outside Oregon. You don't pay federal tax on this interest, but you do pay Oregon tax.

Example: Include interest from state of Washington bonds or from San Francisco city bonds. Do not include interest from Oregon government bonds or interest from U.S. territories or possessions (such as Guam, Puerto Rico, or the Virgin Islands).

10. Other additions. You may need to report one or more other additions explained here. Please identify the addition using the numeric code shown. If you have only one "Other addition," enter the code on line 10x and the amount on lines 10y and 10. For example, if you're reporting a $200 addition for claim of right, enter "103" on line 10x and "$200" on lines 10y and 10. If you're claiming more than one "Other additions," do not enter a code or amount on line 10x or 10y. Instead, check box 10z and include Schedule OR-ASC with your return with the numeric codes and amounts of the additions. Enter the total from Schedule OR-ASC on line 10.

Did you limit itemized deductions on your federal return because your federal adjusted gross income exceeded the threshold amount? If so, you may need to complete a worksheet to determine the correct addition amount for itemized deduction addbacks for Oregon credits. The itemized deduction limit worksheet is available in the 2013 Publication 17½ at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal.

• Federal deduction for long-term care insurance premiums [code 104]. Will you claim an Oregon longterm care insurance premiums credit this year? Did you claim a federal deduction on federal Schedule A for the premiums? If so, you must add to Oregon income the amount of premiums that resulted in a tax benefit on your federal return.
• Federal income tax refunds [code 109]. Did you get a federal tax refund in 2013 because you filed an amended federal return for a prior year or were audited? If so, you must add back the part of your refund that was claimed as part of your federal tax subtraction on your Oregon return for the prior year.

13. 2013 federal tax liability subtraction. Complete the following worksheet to determine your federal tax liability subtraction for 2013. Carefully follow the instructions. Don't confuse your federal tax liability on your federal return with the federal tax withheld on your Form(s) W-2. They are not the same. RDPs: Use amounts from your actual return(s), not your "as if" return.

1. Enter your federal tax liability from Form 1040, line 55; Form 1040A, line 35; Form 1040EZ, line 10, Form 1040NR, line 52; or Form 1040NR-EZ, line 15.	_____

*Did you file federal Form 5405? If you are required to repay your 2008, 2009, or 2010 first-time homebuyer credit because you disposed of your home or stopped using it as your main home, you may subtract your federal tax recapture. Add the amount reported on your federal Form 1040, line 59b, or federal Form 1040NR, line 58b, to the amount included on line 2 of the worksheet above. Do not add this amount if you are repaying your 2008 credit and still live in your qualifying home as your main residence.

Caution: Don't include any of the following on line 2:

• Self-employment tax.
• Social Security and Medicare tax on tips.
• Advance earned income credit payments.
• Household employment taxes.

Are you amending your 2013 return? See the Oregon Amended Schedule instructions to figure your subtraction for federal tax liability.

Federal tax from a prior year and foreign tax: Did you pay additional federal tax in 2013 because you were audited or filed an amended return? Did you pay taxes to a foreign country? If so, you may be able to subtract the additional tax. Go to the 2013 Publication 17½ by clicking on "Publications" at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal to see if you qualify for these subtractions.

Is the IRS figuring your federal tax for you? Do not write an amount on Form 40, line 13. You will not be able to finish your Oregon return without your federal tax liability. Complete the subtractions, deductions, nonrefundable credits, and payments sections, as applicable. Don't forget to include a copy of your federal Form 1040, 1040A, 1040EZ, 1040NR, or 1040NR-EZ with your Oregon return. Write "Calculate federal tax" in blue or black ink at the top left corner of your return. We will finish your Oregon return for you. Be sure to include Form(s) W-2 and any Form(s) 1099 showing Oregon tax withheld. Go to the signature block section on page 28.

14. Social Security and tier 1 Railroad Retirement Board benefits income. Fill in the amount from federal Form 1040, line 20b; or Form 1040A, line 14b. If you have tier 2, windfall/vested dual, or supplemental Railroad Retirement Board benefits, these are subtracted on line 18. For more information, contact us.

15. Oregon income tax refund included in federal income. Fill in your Oregon state income tax refund from federal Form 1040, line 10. Do not include local, county, or other states' tax refunds.

16. Interest and dividends from U.S. government. Fill in interest and dividends from the U.S. government that you included on your federal return. Include U.S. government interest and dividends you received through partnerships or grantor trusts. See line 18 to subtract U.S. government interest in IRA or Keogh distributions. Do not include interest on federal tax refunds in the subtraction.

Examples:

• You can subtract interest from U.S. Series EE, I, or HH bonds and Treasury bills or notes.
• You can subtract interest and dividends paid to you by organizations that invest in U.S. government securities. The payer may have given the percentage of interest and dividends from U.S. government securities on your Form 1099. For more information, go to our website or contact us.
• If you reported interest or dividends of your minor child on your federal return, you can subtract any U.S. government interest included.
• You must reduce U.S. government interest and dividends by any interest expense relating to U.S. government obligations deducted on your federal Schedule A.

Note: When you sell or dispose of a U.S. government obligation, you must include any gain or loss in Oregon income.

17. Federal pension income. You may be able to subtract some or all of your taxable federal pension included in 2013 federal income. This includes benefits paid to the retiree or the beneficiary. It does not include disability payments if you have not reached the minimum retirement age. The subtraction amount is based on the number of months of federal service or points earned before and after October 1, 1991:

• If all your months of federal service or points were before October 1, 1991, subtract 100 percent of the taxable amount of federal pension income you reported on your federal return.
• If you have no months of service or points before October 1, 1991, you cannot subtract any federal pension.
• If your service or points occurred both before and after October 1, 1991, subtract a percentage of the taxable federal pension income you reported on your federal return. To determine your percentage, divide the months of service or points earned before October 1, 1991, by the total months of service or points earned. Round to three places (example: 0.4576 = 45.8 percent). Once you've determined the percentage, it will remain the same each year. Write the percentage on line 17a. If you have two federal pensions, write the second percentage on line 17b and enter your total subtraction amount on line 17. Figure the percentage for each pension separately.

Federal pension subtraction formula:

Months of service or points before 10/1/91 / Total months of service or points X Federal pension amount included in federal income = Oregon subtraction

Example: Ann worked for the U.S. Forest Service from March 31, 1977, until January 7, 2012. She worked a total of 417 months; 174 months were worked before October 1, 1991. In 2013, she received taxable federal pension income of $35,000. Using the formula, her federal pension subtraction is:

174 / 417 x $35,000 = $14,595

She can subtract 41.7 percent - or $14,595 ($35,000 x 0.417) - of her taxable federal pension. She will continue to subtract 41.7 percent from Oregon income in future years.

18. Other subtractions. You may qualify for one or more other subtractions explained in this section. Please identify the subtraction using the numeric code shown. If you have only one "Other subtraction," enter the numeric code on line 18x and the amount on lines 18y and 18. For example, if you're claiming a $100 Oregon Lottery subtraction, enter "322" on line 18x and "$100" on lines 18y and 18.

If you're claiming more than one "Other subtractions," do not enter a code or amount on line 18x or 18y. Instead, check box 18z and include Schedule OR-ASC with your return with the numeric codes and amounts of the subtractions. Enter the total from Schedule OR-ASC on line 18. Do not use this line to subtract federal pension (use line 17 instead).

• Special Oregon medical subtraction [code 351]. If you or your spouse/RDP were age 62 or older on December 31, 2013 and have qualifying medical and/ or dental expenses, you may qualify for the special Oregon medical subtraction. See the 2013 IRS Publication 502 for types of qualifying medical and dental expenses. You cannot subtract medical and dental expenses:
  • For anyone under age 62;
  • For dependents, regardless of their age; or
  • That have already been deducted on your return.
   

You may not claim a subtraction if your federal adjusted gross income is $200,000 or more ($100,000 or more for those who file as single or married/RDP filing separately). Use the worksheet below to determine the amount of your subtraction.

Shared expenses. Did you have medical expenses and/or dental expenses for more than one person? If so, you must determine which expenses belong to each qualifying taxpayer. Start by totaling all expenses for each qualifying taxpayer. If you have expenses that are for more than one person, such as insurance premiums, split the expense by the most reasonable method. For example, two qualifying taxpayers filing jointly that paid $4,000 in insurance premiums during the year would split the expenses in half, or $2,000 each. For more information on how to split shared expenses, see the 2013 Publication 17½ at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal .

Special Oregon medical subtraction worksheet instructions

Line 1: Medical and dental expenses for each taxpayer - Enter the expenses attributable to each taxpayer. See "Shared expenses" above for information about splitting expenses, such as insurance premiums.

Line 1, column (A): If you were age 62 or older on December 31, 2013, enter your total qualifying medical and dental expenses. If your medical expenses were not included in your itemized deductions (Schedule A, line 1) or you didn't itemize your deductions, skip lines 2-4, enter the amount from line 1 on line 5, and go to line 6. If you don't have qualifying expenses or were not age 62 or older on December 31, 2013 - STOP - do not complete column (A). You do not qualify for the subtraction.

Line 1, column (B): If your spouse/RDP was age 62 or older on December 31, 2013 and you're filing jointly, enter your spouse's/RDP's total qualifying medical and dental expenses. If your spouse's/RDP's medical expenses were not included in your itemized deductions (Schedule A, line 1) or you didn't itemize your deductions, skip lines 2-4, enter the amount from line 1 on line 5, and go to line 6. If your spouse/RDP does not have qualifying expenses or was not age 62 or older on December 31, 2013 - STOP - do not complete column (B). Your spouse/RDP does not qualify for the subtraction.

Line 2, columns (A) & (B): Total medical and dental expenses - Enter the total medical and dental expenses you claimed as an itemized deduction (Schedule A, line 1). If your spouse/RDP meets the age requirement and has qualifying expenses, enter this amount on line 2, column (B).

Line 3, columns (A) & (B): Divide line 1 by line 2 for column (A) if you qualify and/or column (B) if your spouse/RDP qualifies and round to three decimal places. For example: 0.7308 is rounded to 0.731.

Line 4, columns (A) & (B): Enter the lesser of the medical and dental expenses claimed on line 1 of your Schedule A or the amount claimed on line 3 of your Schedule A. If your spouse/RDP qualifies, enter the same amount in column (B).

Line 5, columns (A) & (B): Multiply line 3 and line 4 for each column and round to whole dollars. For example: $101.49 is rounded to $101.

Line 6, columns (A) & (B): Enter the maximum allowable medical subtraction for your filing status and federal adjusted gross income from the table on page 17. Do not enter more than $1,800. If your spouse/RDP qualifies, enter the same amount in column (B).

Line 7, columns (A) & (B): Enter the lesser of line 5 or line 6 for each column.

Line 8: Add the amounts from line 7 column (A) and column (B). This is your special Oregon medical subtraction. Enter this amount as an "other subtraction" on line 18 of your Form 40 using subtraction code 351.

Example: Brennan and Maggie were ages 64 and 63 on December 31, 2013. They are filing a joint return with a federal adjusted gross income of $55,000 and are itemizing deductions for Oregon. In 2013, they paid $5,700 in medical expenses that they claimed on Schedule A. Of that, $3,500 was for Brennan's expenses, $1,000 for Maggie's expenses, and $1,200 for Maggie's mother who they claim as a dependent. Both Brennan's and Maggie's expenses qualify for the special Oregon medical subtraction. Since Maggie's mother is a dependent, her expenses do not qualify for the subtraction. Brennan and Maggie would determine their subtraction as follows.

• 529 Oregon College Savings Plan [code 324]. You can subtract up to $4,455 for joint returns or up to $2,225 for all other returns for contributions made to a 529 Oregon College Savings Network account in 2013. If you contribute more than your limit, you can carry forward the remaining contribution not subtracted over the next four years. Keep a copy of your account statement with your tax records. For more information, go to www.oregoncollegesavings.com, or call 866-772-8464.
• American Indian [code 300]. Are you an enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe? You may be able to subtract all or part of your income if all of the following are true:
  • You are an enrolled member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, and
  • Your income was from sources within federally recognized Indian country in Oregon, and
  • You lived in federally recognized Indian country in Oregon when the income was earned.

  You must include a completed copy of your Exempt Income Schedule for Enrolled Members of a Federally Recognized American Indian Tribe with your return. Download the schedule from our website or contact us to order it.

• Military pay [code 319]. If you included U.S. military pay in your federal taxable income, you may qualify for a subtraction on your Oregon return. You can subtract all military pay earned while stationed outside Oregon during the year plus up to $6,000 military pay earned in Oregon. Note: Your total subtraction cannot be more than your total taxable military pay income.

Guard and reserve annual training, weekend drills, and inactive duty training are eligible for this subtraction.

Example: Barry, an Oregon resident, enlisted in the Army in 2010. From January until August 2013, he was stationed at Fort Lewis, Washington and he earned $24,000 in military pay. From August through December, he was a recruiter in Oregon and earned $12,000. He can subtract the $24,000 earned outside Oregon and $6,000 of the income earned in Oregon.

• Oregon National Guard and reserve pay subtraction [code 319]. The following questions will help determine if you can claim this subtraction.
  • Were you a member of the Oregon National Guard or reserves at any time during the year?
  • Were you required to be away from home overnight for at least three weeks consecutively?
   

If you answered yes to both of these questions, you can subtract all of the Oregon National Guard or reserve pay you earned while you met the above qualifications. For more information, visit our website or see the 2013 Publication 17½.

• Oregon Lottery [code 322]. Although Oregon does not tax Oregon Lottery winnings of $600 or less per ticket, the federal government does. Oregon Lottery includes Powerball and Mega Millions tickets you purchased in Oregon.

  You can subtract the following winnings included in your federal income from Oregon income:

  • Winnings of $600 or less from each single ticket or play, and
  • Annual payments from tickets bought before 1998.

  Example: David won two prizes in 2013: $1,000 from an Oregon Lottery scratch-off ticket and $500 playing an Oregon Lottery Keno game. He must include the total $1,500 in federal income. David can subtract $500 on his Oregon return because the Oregon Keno winnings were from a single game and under the $600 limit. He cannot subtract any of the $1,000 he won on the scratch-off ticket, since the prize was more than $600.

Do not subtract any other type of winnings such as winnings from tribal gaming centers.

• Tuition and fees deduction [code 308]. Did you claim the American opportunity or lifetime learning credit on your federal return? If so, you were not allowed a federal tuition and fees deduction because you claimed the federal credit. Because Oregon does not have credits similar to the American opportunity or lifetime learning credits, you can subtract the federal tuition and fees deduction on your Oregon return up to the amount you would have been allowed on your federal return. You can claim the lesser of the federal limit ($4,000 or $2,000, depending on your income) or your actual expenses. You cannot claim the deduction if:
  • You file married/RDP filing separately;
  • You can be claimed as a dependent by another person; or
  • Your federal modified adjusted gross income is more than $80,000 ($160,000 if married/RDP filing jointly).
   
• The following subtractions apply to only a few people and are not explained in this booklet. For more information, go to our website or contact us.
  • Artist's charitable contribution [code 301].

Deductions

You can claim net itemized deductions or Oregon's standard deduction, whichever is larger, but not both.

• If you claim itemized deductions, fill in lines 21 and 23-25.
• If you claim the standard deduction, fill in line 26.

Note: If you're married/RDP filing separately and one spouse/RDP itemizes, both must itemize deductions. If your spouse/RDP itemizes and you don't, your standard deduction is -0-.

21. Itemized deductions. You can claim your total itemized deductions after federal limitations as shown on federal Schedule A, line 29.

You can claim itemized deductions for Oregon even if you don't have enough deductions to itemize on your federal return. If you itemize for Oregon only, fill out a federal Schedule A for Oregon purposes. Be sure to include your state taxes even when itemizing for Oregon only, then subtract your Oregon state income tax on line 24. Use your federal adjusted gross income to figure the Schedule A limitations. Remember to keep Schedule A with your tax records.

22. The special Oregon medical deduction is no longer available. The deduction has been replaced with a subtraction. See page 15 for more details. If you are claiming itemized deductions, leave line 22 blank and put the amount from line 21 on line 23.

24. State income tax or sales tax claimed as an itemized deduction. Fill in the amount of Oregon state income tax or any state and local sales tax you claimed as an itemized deduction on federal Schedule A, line 5. Don't include local or county income tax amounts.

Are you claiming an Oregon credit for income taxes paid to another state and deducting the other state's taxes on Schedule A? If so, include the other state's 2013 net tax liability, or the other state's 2013 tax claimed as an itemized deduction, whichever is less. For the credit instructions, see page 21.

Did you limit itemized deductions on your federal return because your adjusted gross income exceeded the threshold amount? If so, you may need to complete a worksheet to determine the correct amount of Oregon income tax to subtract from itemized deductions. The itemized deduction limit worksheet is available in the 2013 Publication 17½ at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal.

26. Standard deduction. Your standard deduction is based on your filing status:

Single...................................................................$2,080

Married/RDP filing jointly ..................................... 4,160

Married/RDP filing separately

If spouse/RDP claims standard deduction ..... 2,080 If spouse/RDP claims itemized deductions ..........-0

Head of household.................................................3,345

Qualifying widow(er) ............................................ 4,160

Standard deduction - Age 65 or older, or blind. Did you check one or more of the boxes on line 7a, Form 40, because you or your spouse/RDP are age 65 or older or blind? If so, you are entitled to an additional deduction amount.

If you checked one or more of the boxes on line 7a, multiply the number of boxes checked by:

• $1,000 if married/RDP or qualifying widow(er); or
• $1,200 if single or head of household.

Add this amount to the standard deduction for your filing status from above. Fill in the total on line 26.

Standard deduction - Dependents. If someone else can claim you as a dependent, your standard deduction is limited to the larger of:

• Your earned income plus $350, up to the maximum allowed for your filing status, or
• $1,000.

The limit applies even if you qualify but are not claimed as a dependent on another person's return.

If you are a dependent, use the following worksheet to figure your standard deduction, unless you are married/ RDP. If you are a dependent and married/RDP, please contact us.

Earned income is salaries, wages, tips, professional fees, or other amounts received as pay for work you actually performed, and any part of a scholarship or fellowship grant you received that is included in your gross income.

Standard deduction - Nonresident aliens. The standard deduction for nonresident aliens (as defined by federal law) is -0-.

Oregon tax

29. Tax from tax tables or tax rate charts. Figure the tax on your Oregon taxable income, line 28. Go to the tax tables or rate charts on pages 29-31. Fill in your tax amount on line 29 and check box 29a. Double- check that the tax you entered is correct.

Example 1: A single Oregon taxpayer has taxable income of $19,500. The taxpayer will use column S on page 30. The tax is $1,532.

Tax from farm income averaging or farm asset capital gain method. If you qualify, you can compute your Oregon tax using one of the following methods:

Farm income averaging method. You can use the federal farm income averaging method even if you did not use farm income averaging on your federal return.

If you use Form FIA-40, Oregon Farm Income Averaging for Full-Year Residents, to calculate your tax, enter the tax amount from Form FIA-40, line 22, on Form 40, line 29. Check box 29b labeled "Form FIA-40." Include a copy of Form FIA-40 with your return. Download the form from our website or contact us to order it.

Farm asset capital gain method. Did you sell or exchange capital assets primarily used in farming because you were getting out of a farming business? Or, did you sell or exchange a farming business in which you held at least a 10 percent ownership interest? If so, you may be eligible for a reduced tax rate on the net capital gain from the proceeds.

If you use Worksheet FCG, Farm Liquidation Long-Term Capital Gain Tax Rate, to calculate your tax, enter the tax amount from Worksheet FCG, line 7, on Form 40, line 29. Check box 29c labeled "Worksheet FCG." Do not include a copy of Worksheet FCG with your return. Keep a copy with your records. Download the form from our website or contact us to order it.

30. Interest on certain installment sales. Do you have installment sales where you were required to pay interest on the deferred tax liability for federal purposes? If so, you must also compute interest for Oregon. The amount due for Oregon is computed the same as the federal amount. The interest rate is 0.3333 percent per month for 2013.

Credits - Non-refundable

Most credits cannot be more than your Oregon tax liability. Some credits have a carryforward provision that allows you to use the unused balance in the next year. Use credits that cannot be carried forward first.

33. Exemption credit. An exemption credit is not allowed if your federal adjusted gross income on line 8 of Form 40 exceeds:

• $200,000 for married/RDP filing jointly, head of household, or qualifying widow(er) filers; or
• $100,000 for married/RDP filing separately or single filers.

If your federal adjusted gross income does not exceed the threshold amount for your filing status, multiply the total number of exemptions claimed on line 6e of Form 40 by $188. This is your exemption credit.

34. Retirement income credit. If you were age 62 or older on December 31, 2013, and receiving retirement income, you may qualify for a retirement income credit if:

• Your household income is less than $22,500 ($45,000 if married/RDP filing jointly), and
• Your Social Security benefits and/or tier 1 Railroad Retirement Board benefits are less than $7,500 ($15,000 if married/RDP filing jointly), and
• Your household income plus your Social Security and/ or tier 1 Railroad Retirement Board benefits is less than $22,500 ($45,000 if married/RDP filing jointly).

Retirement income includes payments reported in Oregon taxable income from:

• U.S. government pensions (including military).
• State or local government pensions.
• Employee pensions.
• Individual retirement plans.
• Deferred compensation plans including defined benefit, profit sharing, and 401(k).
• Employee annuity plans.

8. Household income base. Enter $15,000 ($30,000 if married/RDP filing jointly).	_____
9. Line 7 minus line 8, but not less than -0-.	_____
10. Line 6 minus line 9, but not less than -0-.	_____
11. Enter the smaller of line 3 or line 10.	_____
12. Multiply line 11 by 9 percent (0.09). Enter the result here and on Form 40, line 34.	_____

What is included in household income? Household income includes all taxable and nontaxable income of each spouse/RDP except:

• Social Security and tier 1 Railroad Retirement Board benefits.
• Your state income tax refund.
• Pension income excluded from federal AGI that is a return of your contributions.
• Pensions that are rolled over into an IRA that are not included in AGI.

Any losses claimed are limited to $1,000 for each activity. Depreciation is limited to $5,000.

The credit cannot be more than your tax liability. You cannot carry any amount that is more than your tax liability over to next year. You may claim this credit or the credit for the elderly or the disabled, line 36, but not both.

35.Child and dependent care credit. You're allowed an Oregon credit only if you qualify for the federal child and dependent care credit. You may still be able to claim the Oregon credit even if you can't use all of your federal credit. Note to RDPs: Use your "as if" federal return to see if you qualify for the Oregon credit.

Did you pay 2012 child care expenses in 2013? If so, you may be able to use that amount to increase your 2013 Oregon child and dependent care credit. For more information, please contact us.

Carryforward. Your total 2013 child and dependent care credit can't be more than your 2013 Oregon tax liability. You can carry forward any excess credit over the next five years. If the excess isn't used within five years, it's lost. See other credits instructions, page 22.

36.Credit for the elderly or the disabled. The Oregon credit is 40 percent of your federal credit. You can claim an Oregon credit only if you qualify for the federal credit. Please complete federal Schedule R, even if you aren't using the federal credit.

Multiply the amount on federal Schedule R, line 20 by 0.40 (40 percent). RDPs: Use your "as if" federal return to see if you qualify for the Oregon credit. You can claim this credit or the retirement income credit, line 34, but not both.

37 Political contribution credit. Fill in your total political contributions, up to $100 on a joint return or up to $50 on all others. Your contribution(s) of money must have been made during 2013 to any of the following:

• A political party.
• A qualified candidate (or the candidate's principal campaign committee) for federal, state, or local office to be voted for in Oregon.
• A political action committee certified in Oregon.

38. Credit for income taxes paid to another state. Did you pay income taxes to another state or U.S. territory on income that is also taxed by Oregon? If so, you may be able to claim this credit.

If you were a full-year Oregon resident and had income taxed by Arizona, California, Indiana, or Virginia, you generally cannot claim the credit on your Oregon return. However, you can claim the credit on the nonresident return you file with those states. You may be able to claim the credit if you were on a group return for any of those states. If income is taxed by Oregon and another state not listed here, claim the credit on your Form 40 Oregon resident return, line 38. If you only paid taxes to one other state, enter the two-letter state abbreviation on Form 40, line 38y and the credit amount on Form 40, line 38.

If you are claiming the credit for more than one state, do not enter a state abbreviation on line 38y. Instead check box 38z and include Schedule OR-ASC with your return identifying the states and the credit amount for each state. Enter the total for all states from Schedule OR-ASC on Form 40, line 38.

This credit is only for state income tax. You cannot claim this credit for city or county income tax, sales tax, alternative minimum tax (AMT), property tax, school tax, or building funds.

Your credit is the smallest of the following:

• The other state's 2013 net tax liability.
• Your Oregon tax liability after all credits, except credits for income taxes paid to other states.
• The amount figured using the following formula: Divide your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) taxed by both states by your total MAGI. Multiply the result by your Oregon tax after subtracting all other credits.

Your MAGI taxed by both states / Your total MAGI x Your Oregon tax after subtracting all other credits

Your total MAGI equals the sum of lines 8 and 9 minus lines 14-17 of Form 40. Add the amount on Form 40, line 10, only if it's income Oregon taxes but the federal government doesn't. Subtract the amount on Form 40, line 18, only if it's income the federal government taxes but Oregon doesn't.

Caution: You can't claim this credit and claim the tax you paid as an itemized deduction. On Form 40, line 24, in addition to the Oregon tax you claim as an itemized deduction, fill in the smaller of the following:

• The other state's 2013 tax claimed as an itemized deduction, or
• The other state's 2013 net tax liability.

If the credit is based on a tax liability paid in two different tax years, you may be required to restore the deduction to Oregon income in two different tax years. For more information, please contact us.

39. Other credits. You may qualify for other nonrefundable credits listed on this page. Please identify the credit using the numeric code. If you have only one "Other credit," enter the numeric code on line 39x and the amount on lines 39y and 39. For example, if you're claiming a $45 residential energy credit, enter "729" on line 39x and "$45" on lines 39y and 39. If you're claiming more than one "Other credit," do not enter a code or amount on line 39x or 39y. Instead, check box 39z and include Schedule OR-ASC with your return with the numeric codes and amounts of the credits. Enter the total from Schedule OR-ASC on Form 40, line 39.

• Child and dependent care carryforward [code 704]. To qualify, your net income tax on last year's Oregon return must have been zero. Enter the amount of unused credit from a prior year. Do not include prior year child care expenses. The prior year carry- forward plus your current year's credit can't be more than your Oregon tax liability on Form 40, line 41. You can carry forward any excess credit from line 35 over the next five years. If the carryforward isn't used within five years, it's lost.
• Long-term care insurance premiums [code 716]. You're allowed a long-term care insurance premiums credit if:
  • Your policy was issued in 2000 or later, and
  • You, your parents, or your dependents are the policy beneficiaries, and
  • You paid premiums for 2013.
   

The credit for single and joint filers is the smaller of 15 percent of the premiums paid or $500. If you're married/RDP filing separately, the combined credits on the spouses'/RDPs' returns can't be more than the credit they would have been allowed on a joint return.

Any federal benefit due to a federal deduction for the premiums must be reported as an Oregon addition. See page 13.

Employers paying for long-term care insurance for employees may also claim this credit.

You can claim a tax credit of up to $500 per taxpayer ($1,000 on a joint return) for the amount you contributed to the Oregon Cultural Trust. Any federal benefit due to a federal deduction must be reported as an Oregon addition. For more information about the Oregon Cultural Trust, go to www.culturaltrust.org.

Tax payments and refundable credits

42. Oregon income tax withheld. Fill in the total Oregon tax withheld from your wages and other income shown on your Form(s) W-2, box 17 or on your Form(s) 1099. Don't use the FICA (Social Security) tax withheld. Don't use tax withheld from your wages by other states. Include a readable copy of your Form W-2 from each job and any Form(s) 1099 showing Oregon income tax withheld.

If you don't have a Form W-2 or 1099, you must provide other proof of your Oregon tax withheld, such as a copy of a final paycheck stub or a letter from your employer. If you file before February 1, 2014, we can accept only Form(s) W-2 or 1099 as proof.

If you have tax to pay this year, you may want to increase the amount your employer withholds from your 2014 wages for Oregon. Download the publication Oregon Income Tax Withholding from our website or contact us to order it.

43. Estimated tax payments for 2013. Fill in the total estimated tax payments you made before filing your Oregon return. These payments were due April 15, 2013; June 17, 2013; September 16, 2013; and January 15, 2014. Include any payments you made with your Oregon extension. Also include any refund you applied to your 2013 estimated tax. If the department adjusted your applied refund, be sure to use the adjusted amount. If you need to verify your estimated payment amounts, please contact us.

Are you claiming a wolf depredation credit or claim of right credit? If so, check box 43a or 43b and include the credit amount on line 43. For more information on these credits, go to the 2013 Publication 17½ by clicking on "Publications" at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal.

44. Earned income credit (refundable). You're allowed an Oregon earned income credit only if you qualify for the earned income credit on your federal return. Your Oregon credit is 6 percent of your federal credit. For example, if your federal credit is $400, your Oregon credit is $24 ($400 x 0.06). Note to RDPs: Use your "as if" federal return to see if you qualify for the Oregon credit.

Use the following formula to figure your credit:

1. Enter your federal earned income credit from Form 1040, line 64a; Form 1040A, line 38a; or Form 1040EZ, line 8a.	_____
2. Multiply the amount on line 1 by 6 percent (0.06). Enter the result here and on Form 40, line 44.	_____

If the credit is more than your tax liability, the difference will be refunded to you.

45. Working family child care credit (refundable). This credit is available to low-income working families with qualifying child care expenses. To see if you qualify, check the Schedule WFC instructions by clicking on "Forms" at www.oregon.gov/dor/personal. Include a completed Schedule WFC with your return if claiming the credit.

46. Mobile home park closure credit (refundable). Enter the amount from Schedule MPC, line 5. Include Schedule MPC with your return. For more information, go to our website or contact us.

Penalties and interest

50. Penalty and interest. Your tax is due by April 15, 2014. Your return is also due by April 15, 2014, unless you file for an extension.

Penalty. Include a penalty payment if you:

• Mail your payment after April 15 (even if you have an extension to file).
• File your return showing tax to pay after the due date or extension due date.

The late-payment penalty is 5 percent of the unpaid balance of your tax.

If you file more than three months after the due date or the extension due date, a 20 percent late-filing penalty will be added; that is, you will owe a total penalty of 25 percent of any tax not paid.

Interest. If you're filing your return or paying your tax after April 15, 2014, include interest on any unpaid tax.

An interest period is each full month starting with the day after the due date. For example, April 16 to May 15 is a full month and an interest period.

The 2014 interest rate is 4 percent per year (0.3333 percent per month).

Interest is figured daily for periods of less than a month. Here's how to figure daily interest:

Tax x 0.000110 x number of days

If the tax isn't paid within 60 days from the date of our bill, the interest rate increases to 8 percent per year.

Note: Don't calculate interest if you file late and expect a refund.

51. Interest on underpayment of estimated tax. For 2013, you'll have an underpayment if you paid less than 90 percent of the tax due on each estimated tax payment due date or tax owed is more than $1,000.

Use Form 10, Underpayment of Oregon Estimated Tax, to determine if you have an underpayment. Download the form from our website or contact us to order it. If you have an underpayment, you must file Oregon Form 10 with your return.

If you have an underpayment, fill in the amount of interest due from Form 10, line 34 on Form 40, line 51, and check the box. Include Form 10 with your return. If you meet an exception, enter the exception number on line 51a and do not include Form 10. If you used the Annualized Income Worksheet, check box 51b and file the form with your return.

53. Amount you owe. You may pay with a check, money order, electronic payment, or credit card. If the amount is less than $2, no payment is required.
