Tax deadline looming

The Oregon Department of Revenue is reminding taxpayers that July 15 is the deadline for filing a tax return and paying taxes due. Oregon, along with the IRS, extended the deadline to file and pay federal taxes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

For personal income taxpayers:

• The Oregon return filing due date for tax year 2019 is July 15, 2020.

• The Oregon tax payment deadline for payments due with the 2019 tax year is July 15, 2020.

• The tax year 2019 six-month extension to file until October 15, 2020, if requested, extends only to the filing (not payment) deadline.

For corporate income/excise taxpayers:

• The Oregon return filing due date for tax year 2019 is July 15, 2020.

• The Oregon tax payment deadline for payments for the 2019 return, normally May 15, 2020, is now July 15, 2020.

• Fiscal year returns and related payments due after July 15, 2020 are not extended at this time.

Interest and penalties:

• Because of the extension of the due dates for filing returns and making payments, any interest and penalties with respect to Oregon tax filings and payments begin accruing on July 16, 2020.

• No automatic extension is provided for the payment or deposit of any other type of Oregon tax or for the filing of Oregon information returns.
