Oregon is tied to the federal definition of taxable income as of December 31, 2022; however, Oregon is still disconnected from: Extended credits • Federal subsidies for prescription drug plans (IRC §139A; ORS 317.401). • Deferral of certain deductions for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2009 and before January 1, 2011 may require subsequent Oregon modifications (IRC §168(k) and §179; ORS 317.301).

A credit is not allowed for an amount equal to the greater of costs used to claim the IRC 45G credit or the credit limitation in IRC 45G(b)(1). Rehabilitation costs that are funded by a federal or state grant cannot be used to claim the credit. Looking ahead Credits Oregon Affordable Housing Lender’s Credit (ORS 317.097) The credit is certified by Oregon department of Transportation (ODOT). The changes described here apply to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2026. Two separate bills amended this credit: • HB 2071 (2023) amended ORS 317.097 to allow financiers of limited equity cooperatives to claim the ORS 317.097 tax credit if the tax credit savings are passed on to the tenants of the limited equity cooperative. This change applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024. • SB 892 (2023) amended ORS 317.097 to apply to projects involving households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income. Prior to the amendment, ORS 317.097 applies to projects involving households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income. Estimated tax payments Requirements Oregon estimated tax payment requirements aren’t the same as federal estimated tax payment requirements. You must make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe tax of $500 or more. This includes Oregon’s minimum tax. See ORS 314.505 to 314.525 and supporting administrative rules. Qualified semiconductor company research credit If you don’t make estimated payments as required, you may be subject to interest on underpayment of estimated tax (UND). Refer to Form OR-37 if you have an underpayment of estimated tax. HB 2009 (2023) allows a qualified semiconductor company to claim a tax credit based on research and development expenses. The qualifying research and development expenses are determined based on IRC 41. Oregon allows a credit equal to 15 percent of the qualifying research and development expenses as determined in IRC 41. The maximum amount of credit varies based on employee numbers. A portion of the tax credit is refundable if the taxpayer has fewer than 3,000 employees. The exact refund percentage depends on how many employees the taxpayer has. Payment due dates Estimated tax payments are due quarterly, as follows: • Calendar year filers: April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. • Fiscal year filers: The 15th day of the 4th, 6th, 9th, and 12th months of your fiscal year. • If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, use the next regular business day. The new tax credit applies to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2024, and before January 1, 2030. The tax credit will be certified by Oregon Business Development Department (OBDD). 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) Payment options Important: For details about making payments with your return, see “Filing checklist” below. 3 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions Estimated payments may be made by electronic funds transfer (EFT), online, or by mail. Example: During the year, Corporation A’s expected net tax increased from $2,000 to $6,000. Corporation A made timely first and second quarter estimated payments of $500 before its expected net tax increased. EFT. You must make your Oregon estimated payments by EFT if you’re required to make your federal estimated payments by EFT. We may grant a waiver from EFT payments if you’d be disadvantaged by the requirement (ORS 314.518 and supporting administrative rules). Corporation A should make four payments of $1,500 each during the year. Because of its increased net tax, Corporation A will be subject to UND charges for the first and second quarters. To avoid UND charges for the third and fourth quarters, Corporation A must make timely payments of $3,500* for the third quarter and $1,500 for the fourth quarter. If you don’t meet the federal requirements for mandatory EFT payments, you may still make voluntary EFT payments. You can make EFT payments through Revenue Online or through your financial institution. To learn more about Revenue Online or to make an EFT payment, visit ­www. oregon.gov/dor. If you pay by EFT, don’t send Form OR‑20-V, Oregon Corporation Tax Payment Voucher. *$1,000 for the first-quarter underpayment, plus $1,000 for the second-quarter underpayment, plus $1,500 for the required third-quarter installment equals $3,500. Filing information Mail. If paying by mail, send each payment with a Form OR-20-V, payment voucher, to: Oregon Department of Revenue, PO Box 14950, Salem OR 97309-0950. Who must file with Oregon? Corporations that are doing business in Oregon, or with income from an Oregon source, are required to file an Oregon corporation tax return. If you have tangible or intangible property or other assets in Oregon, any income you receive from that property or assets is Oregon source income. Public Law (Pub.L.) 86-272 provides exceptions to the Oregon filing requirement for certain corporations doing business in Oregon. Include on your check: • Federal employer identification number (FEIN). • Tax year beginning and ending dates. • Contact phone. Estimated tax payments’ worksheet (Keep for your records—don’t file with your payment.) 1. Oregon net income expected in upcoming tax year. 1. 2. Tax on Oregon net income (see Appendix B). 2. 3. Subtract tax credits allowable in upcoming tax year. Tax credits can’t be used to reduce minimum tax. 3. 4. Net tax (line 2 minus line 3). 4. Exemption for emergency service providers. An outof-state emergency service provider is exempt from tax when operating solely for the purposes of performing disaster or emergency-related work on critical infrastructure. Disaster or emergency-related work conducted by an out-of-state business may not be used as the sole basis for determining that a corporation is doing business in Oregon. Note: Oregon follows the federal entity classification regulations. If an entity is classified or taxed as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, it will be treated as a corporation for Oregon tax purposes. If the amount on line 4 is less than $500, stop. You don’t have to make estimated tax payments. Caution: If your final tax liability when you file your return is $500 or more, you may be subject to UND. 5. Amount of each payment. (Divide line 4 by the number of payments you need to make. This is usually 4.) Excise or income tax? Oregon has two types of corporate taxes: excise and income. Excise tax is the most common. Most corporations don’t qualify for Oregon’s income tax. 5. Excise tax is a tax for the privilege of doing business in Oregon. It’s measured by net income. Excise tax filers are subject to corporate minimum tax. Corporation excise tax laws are in Chapter 317 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. If your expected net tax changes during the year, refigure your estimated tax payments using the Estimated tax payments’ worksheet. Note: All interest on obligations of the 50 states and their subdivisions are subject to Oregon excise tax. Interest on obligations of the United States and its instrumentalities are also subject to tax if the interest is taxable under the Internal Revenue Code and Congress has not chosen to To avoid additional charges for UND, you must pay the amount of any prior underpayment plus the amount of the current required payment. 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) 4 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions prevent the states from taxing the interest in question. A taxpayer has the burden of showing that Oregon can’t tax the interest on a federal obligation. • Included in a consolidated federal return; • Unitary; and • At least one of the affiliated corporations doing business in Oregon or have Oregon-source income. Income tax is for corporations not doing business in Oregon, but with income from an Oregon source. Income tax filers aren’t subject to corporate excise or minimum tax. Corporation income tax laws are in Chapter 318 of the Oregon Revised Statutes. Note: S corporations can’t be included in consolidated federal returns. IRC §1361(b) provides that a corporation that’s a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary (QSSS) isn’t treated as a separate corporation. All income, deductions, and credits of the QSSS will be treated as belonging to the parent S corporation. What form do I use? Unitary business. A business that has, directly or indirectly between members or parts of the enterprise, either a sharing or an exchange of value shown by: Except as provided by Pub.L. 86-272, all corporations doing business in Oregon must file Form OR-20, and are subject to the minimum excise tax. Any corporation doing business in Oregon is also required to register with the Secretary of State, Corporation Division. See www.­­sos.oregon.gov. • Centralized management or a common executive force; • Centralized administrative services or functions resulting in economies of scale; or • Flow of goods, capital resources, or services showing functional integration. “Doing business” means carrying on or being engaged in any profit-seeking activity in Oregon. A taxpayer having one or more of the following in this state is clearly doing business in Oregon: Unitary insurance affiliates. If a unitary insurance affiliate has a separate return filing requirement, it’s excluded from the Oregon return of the consolidated group. The insurance affiliate is treated as if it’s a nonunitary affiliate of the consolidated group by subtracting income or adding losses to federal taxable income. The other members of the insurer’s federal consolidated group receive a 100 percent dividend-received deduction for any dividend received from the insurer. See “Additions” and “Subtractions” below. • A stock of goods. • An office. • A place of business (other than an office) where affairs of the corporation are regularly conducted. • Employees or representatives providing services to customers as the primary business activity (such as accounting or personal services), or services incidental to the sale of tangible or intangible personal property (such as installation, inspection, maintenance, warranty, or repair of a product). • An economic presence through which the taxpayer regularly takes advantage of Oregon’s economy to produce income. Separate federal returns. Any corporation that files a separate federal return must file a separate Oregon return if it’s doing business in Oregon or has income from an Oregon source. However, see special filing requirements for REITs. Corporations not doing business in Oregon, but with income from an Oregon source, must file Form OR‑20‑INC. Most corporations don’t fall within Oregon’s income tax provisions. A corporation subject to Oregon taxation must also file a separate Oregon return if it was included in a consolidated federal return, but wasn’t unitary with any of the other affiliates. To determine Oregon taxable income, begin with taxable income from the consolidated federal return and use Oregon additions or subtractions to remove the nonunitary affiliates. Corporations not doing business in Oregon, and with no Oregon source income, even if incorporated in or registered to do business in the state, aren’t subject to the excise, income, or minimum tax, and aren’t required to file a corporation tax return. E-file Important: Don’t file a Form OR-20 unless you’re required to do so. Filing an unnecessary return may result in a billing for minimum tax. If you’re required to e-file with the IRS, you’re also required to e-file for Oregon (ORS 314.364). We accept calendar year, fiscal year, short year, and amended electronic corporation tax returns utilizing the IRS Modernized e-file platform (MeF). Beginning January 2024, we’ll accept e-filed returns for tax year 2023, and will continue accepting returns for 2022 and 2021. Filing requirements Consolidated federal returns (ORS 317.705–317.725). If a corporation is a member of an affiliated group of corporations that filed a consolidated federal return, it must file an Oregon return based on that federal return. An Oregon return, based on the federal consolidated return, is required when two or more affiliated corporations are: 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) Your tax return software also allows you to make electronic payments when e-filing your original return. Note: Your paper return may be rejected if you’re required to electronically file your Oregon corporation 5 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions tax return, unless a waiver request has been approved by us prior to the filing of the paper return. Don’t amend your Oregon return if you amend the federal return to carry a net operating loss back to prior years. Oregon allows corporations to carry net operating losses forward only. If you’d like to request a waiver, send an email with the FEIN, tax year, and reason you’re unable to e-file to bus.electronicfiling​ @​ dor.oregon.gov, prior to paper-filing your return. On the estimated tax payments line of your amended Form OR-20, enter the net excise tax per the original return or as previously adjusted. Don’t include any penalty or interest portions of payments already made. For a list of software vendors or for more information, search “e-filing” at www.oregon.gov/dor. ­­ If paying additional tax with your amended return, you must include interest with your payment. Interest is figured from the day after the due date of your original return up to the day we receive your full payment. See “Interest rates.” Federal or other state audit changes If the IRS or other taxing authority changes or corrects your federal or other state return for any tax year, you must notify us. File an amended Oregon return and include a copy of the federal or other state audit report. Mail this separately from your current year’s return. Pay all tax and interest due with your amended return or within 30 days of receiving a billing notice from us to avoid being charged a 5 percent late payment penalty. If you don’t amend or send a copy of the federal or other state report, we have two years from the date we’re notified of the change to issue a deficiency notice. To receive a refund you must file a claim for refund of tax within two years of the date of the federal or other state report. Protective claims Don’t file an amended return as a protective claim. Use Oregon Form OR-PCR, Protective Claim for Refund, 150‑101-184, when your claim to a refund is contingent on a pending court decision or legislative action. Notify us within 90 days of the final determination by filing an amended return. Don’t file an amended return before the pending action is final. Amended returns Oregon doesn’t have an amended return form for corporations. Use the form for the tax year you’re amending and check the amended box. Always use your current address. If your address has changed, don’t use your old address or our system will revert your current address to the old address. Special filing requirements Fill in all amounts on your amended return, even if they’re the same as originally filed. If you’re amending to change additions, subtractions, or credits, include detail of all items and amounts, including carryovers. Agricultural or horticultural cooperatives For purposes of the corporate minimum tax only, the Oregon sales of agricultural or horticultural cooperatives doesn’t include sales representing business done with or for the cooperative’s members. If you’re an agricultural or horticultural cooperative, check the box in the header for Ag co-op. If you change taxable income by filing an original or amended federal or other state return, you must file an amended Oregon return within 90 days of when the original or amended federal or other state return is filed (ORS 314.380). Include a copy of your original or amended federal or other state return with your amended Oregon return and explain the changes. Your Schedule OR-AP, part 1, must show all sales in Oregon and elsewhere to correctly compute your apportionment percentage. However, for minimum tax purposes, show the amount of sales not done with or for members of the co-op in the header of the Schedule OR-AP, under the heading “Describe the nature and provide the location(s) of your Oregon business activities.” Include the description “Sales not done with or for members of the co-op.” If you filed Form OR-20-S, and later determined you should file Form OR-20, amend your return using Form OR-20 and check the amended box. You may make payments online for your amended return at ­­www.oregon.gov/dor. Don’t make payments for amended returns with EFT. This also applies to e-filed amended returns. For paper returns, you may pay online or include a check or money order with your return. For e-filed returns, you may pay online or send a check or money order separately. If you mail your payment separate from your return, write “Amended” on the payment and include a completed Form OR-20-V with the amended box checked. 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) Note: Generally, co-ops filing federal Form 1120-C begin the Oregon return with line 25a from the federal return (not line 28). You are also allowed a subtraction for patronage dividends, which is taken on Schedule OR‑ASC-CORP, code number 379 (ORS 317.010). 6 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions Broadcasters membership dues, fees, and assessments from memberowners of residential units in the particular condominium or subdivision involved. Oregon follows the federal definition of nonexempt function income. SB 136 (2021) defines broadcasting sales and repeals the interstate broadcaster provisions applicable before January 1, 2020. Don’t file Form OR-20 if you don’t have nonexempt function income for Oregon tax purposes. Only file a copy of your federal Form 1120-H with us. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, taxpayers with broadcasting sales must use an audience/ subscriber factor, as demonstrated through the use of third-party ratings information or the taxpayer’s books, papers, records, or memoranda, to source their broadcasting sales to Oregon. Taxpayers with broadcasting sales may elect to apply their audience/subscriber factor to all their gross receipts except sales of real property and tangible personal property. In certain circumstances, taxpayers may source receipts from advertising on or licensing to subscription services using a statutorily prescribed 0.6% apportionment factor. See SB 136 for more information. File an Oregon Form OR-20, with a copy of federal Form 1120-H, if the association has taxable income. Homeowners association taxable income for Oregon is generally the same as for federal purposes. It’s gross nonexempt income less directly-related deductions, less the specific $100 deduction. However, net capital gains are included in the computation and receive no special treatment. An association filing Oregon Form OR-20 is subject to the greater of calculated excise tax or Oregon minimum tax. For minimum tax purposes, include in “Oregon sales” only Oregon nonexempt function income. Exempt organizations Insurers If you’re an exempt organization under IRC §§501(c) through (f), 501(j), 501(n), 521, or 529, you’re exempt from Oregon corporation taxes [ORS 317.080 (1)–(8)]. Apply to the IRS for exempt status, don’t apply to us. Two exceptions are nonprofit homes for the elderly and people’s utility districts established under ORS Chapter 261. Insurers that have a separate return filing requirement under ORS 317.710(5) and (7) can’t be included in an Oregon consolidated return. Instead, they generally determine Oregon corporate excise tax on a separate basis. The remaining affiliates in the Oregon consolidated return compute their modified federal consolidated taxable income after exclusion of the insurer with the separate return filing requirement. Also, the Oregon consolidated return receives a 100 percent dividendsreceived deduction if a dividend is paid by an insurer that has a separate return filing requirement. See Form OR-20-INS and instructions for more information about insurance company filing requirements. If you’re exempt from Oregon tax and don’t have unrelated business taxable income (UBTI) as defined in IRC §512, don’t file an Oregon tax return. UBTI is gross unrelated business income less allowable deductions, including a special $1,000 deduction. If you have UBTI, file Form OR-20 and include a copy of your federal Form 990-T. Organizations exempt from federal tax, but not exempt from Oregon tax, must also file Form OR-20 and include a copy of federal Form 990‑T. Interest charge domestic international sales corporations (IC-DISCs) (ORS 317.283, 317.635) An exempt organization filing Oregon Form OR-20 is subject to the greater of calculated excise tax based on UBTI apportioned or allocated to Oregon or Oregon minimum tax. For minimum tax purposes, include in “Oregon sales” only gross unrelated business income apportioned or allocated to Oregon. Tax-exempt gross income isn’t included. If your corporation is an IC-DISC, file Form OR-20 and check the IC-DISC checkbox at the top of the form. • An IC-DISC formed on or before January 1, 2014 is exempt from minimum tax. Complete your Form OR-20 using the instructions below. • Commissions received by an IC-DISC formed on or before January 1, 2014 are taxed at 2.5 percent. • An IC-DISC formed after January 1, 2014 isn’t exempt from minimum tax. However, it’s disregarded to the extent it has transactions with related parties. If you have transactions other than with related parties, complete your Form OR-20 as a normal corporation filer, and check the IC-DISC checkbox in the return header. Note: Some religious organizations that qualify under IRC § 501(d) may file as partnerships. Homeowners associations A homeowners association organized and operated under IRC §528(c) may elect to be treated as a tax-exempt organization (ORS 317.080). The association must make the election no later than the time prescribed by law for filing the return. A copy of the federal Form 1120-H filed with the IRS will constitute this election when filed with us. Tax-exempt status will only exempt the association from tax on the exempt function income, such as 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) The Oregon IC-DISC return is due by the 15th day of the month following the due date of the federal return. For example, a calendar-year federal Form 1120-IC-DISC is due nine months after the year-end (September 15). The Oregon return for the IC-DISC is due October 15. 7 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions If the 15th falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the due date is the next business day. No extensions are allowed for IC-DISC returns per federal and Oregon laws. Form OR-20 line instructions for IC-DISCs (formed on or before January 1, 2014) Foreign LLCs are identified as unincorporated associations organized under the laws of a state other than Oregon, or a foreign country. Oregon’s definition of a foreign LLC includes an unincorporated association organized under the laws of a federally recognized American Indian tribe, no matter when organized. Important: Check the IC-DISC box at the top of the form. Political organizations Line 1. Taxable income from the U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return. Enter the “total commissions received” reported for federal income tax purposes [federal Form 1120-IC-DISC, Schedule B, column c, lines 1c, 2k, and 3g]. Carry this amount to: • Line 3—Income after additions; • Line 5—Income before net loss deductions; and • Line 9—Oregon taxable income. Political organizations (for example, campaign committees and political parties) normally don’t pay state or federal taxes. However, income earned from investments is taxable.

Publicly traded partnerships Limited liability companies (LLCs) A “publicly traded partnership” is a partnership treated as a corporation for federal tax purposes under IRC §7704. Oregon follows federal law in determining how an LLC is taxed. Federal law doesn’t recognize an LLC as a classification for federal tax purposes. An LLC business entity must file a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship tax return, depending on elections made by the LLC and the number of members. The partners in a publicly traded partnership aren’t subject to tax on their distributive shares of partnership income. A publicly traded partnership taxed as a corporation must file Form OR-20 if doing business in Oregon, or Form OR-20-INC if not doing business in Oregon but is receiving Oregon-source income. A multi-member LLC can be either a partnership or a corporation, including an S corporation. A single member LLC (SMLLC) can be either a corporation or a single member “disregarded entity.” Refer to federal law for more information and requirements. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and Regulated Investment Companies (RICs) A REIT or RIC that isn’t included in a federal consolidated return based on the provisions of IRC §1504(b)(4) must be included in the Oregon consolidated return. These REITs or RICs are subject to the provisions of ORS 317.715 and supporting administrative rules. For apportioning taxpayers, factors from the REIT or RIC are included in the apportionment calculation of the consolidated Oregon return. An LLC taxed as a C corporation must file Form OR-20 if doing business in Oregon, or Form OR-20-INC if not doing business in Oregon but receiving Oregon-source income. The LLC must file Form OR-20-S if the entity files federal Form 1120-S. An LLC taxed as a partnership must file Form OR-65, Oregon Partnership Return, if doing business in Oregon, or if receiving Oregon-source income, or if it has any Oregon resident members. If the LLC has a corporate member, the member is taxed on its share of the LLC’s Oregon income. A REIT or RIC that isn’t required to be included in an Oregon consolidated return is subject to tax under ORS chapter 317 or 318 and calculates their Oregon apportionment factors and Oregon net income in the same manner as a corporation with a separate filing requirement under ORS 317.710. REITs or RICs doing business in Oregon are subject to Oregon minimum tax. Business trusts that qualify as REITs filing separate returns aren’t allowed an Oregon deduction for net losses of prior years. If an LLC is part of a corporation’s overall business operations and is treated as a partnership, include the corporation’s ownership share of LLC property, payroll, and sales in the corporation’s apportionment percentage calculation on Schedule OR-AP (ORS 314.650 and supporting administrative rules). 150-102-020-1 (Rev. 10-17-23) Distributions from a REIT or RIC to its shareholders are treated the same as distributions from a corporation to 8 2023 Form OR-20 Instructions its shareholders for purposes of ORS chapters 316, 317, and 318. — Contact phone. ° To speed up processing of your return: — Don’t use Form OR-20-V payment voucher. — Don’t staple payment to the return. — Don’t send cash or postdated checks. — Don’t use red or purple or any gel ink. • Assembling your return.

About the Corporate Income Tax

The IRS and most states require corporations to file an income tax return, with the exact filing requirements depending on the type of company.

Sole proprietorships or disregarded entities like LLCs are filed on Schedule C (or the state equivalent) of the owner's personal income tax return, flow-through entities like S Corporations or Partnerships are generally required to file an informational return equivilent to the IRS Form 1120S or Form 1065, and full corporations must file the equivalent of federal Form 1120 (and, unlike flow-through corporations, are often subject to a corporate tax liability).

Additional forms are available for a wide variety of specific entities and transactions including fiduciaries, nonprofits, and companies involved in other specific types of business.
