Tax amnesty bill
The Oregon Legislature passed a tax amnesty bill (SB 880) on June 29, 2009. Governor Kulongoski signed the bill into law July 15, 2009.
The amnesty program will waive all penalties and one-half of the interest for taxpayers that either file overdue returns or amend returns to report and pay any under-reported tax.
Tax years 2007 and earlier are eligible for:
- Corporate income and excise taxes;
- Personal income tax (including trusts and estates);
- Inheritance tax (for returns due before January 1, 2008); and
- Transit district taxes on self-employment.
This program will start October 1, 2009 and run through November 19, 2009.
The Department of Revenue will update this page regularly. Please check back often for the latest information.
