Refunds Generally

Refund Limitations - Time and Amount.

(a)

If the amount of the tax imposed by the statute is less than the amount paid by the taxpayer and the taxpayer does not then owe any other tax or liability to the State of Oregon, such overpayment must be refunded. A refund may be made under ORS 314.415 (Refunds) in compliance with a claim for refund filed by the taxpayer under ORS 305.270 (Refund of excess tax paid) or by correction of the return by the department. To issue a refund based on an audit examination, an auditor’s report showing the amount of refund must be completed and approved prior to the expiration of the applicable period set forth in the following paragraph.

(b)

Except as provided in subsections (3), (4), (5) and (6) of ORS 314.415 (Refunds), a refund or credit may not be granted unless a correction by the department is approved or a claim is filed within three years after the return is filed, or within two years after part or all of the tax is paid, whichever period expires later. Under ORS 316.417 (Date return considered made or advance payment made)(1) and 317.504 (Date return considered filed or advance payment considered made), a return filed before the due date is considered as having been filed on the due date.

(c)

If there is an amount due from the taxpayer, the refund otherwise allowable will be applied to the balance due. An appeal from an additional assessment paid by the taxpayer to stop the running of interest cannot be classed as a “refund” claim. Except as provided in ORS 314.415 (Refunds)(5), the amount refunded cannot exceed the amount of tax paid during the applicable period of limitation before a correction by the department is approved or the filing of the claim.
Example: A taxpayer files a 2002 return on April 15, 2003, showing tax due in the amount of $100 and pays that amount at the time the return is filed. On April 1, 2006, additional tax of $50 is assessed by the department on the 2002 return and is paid by the taxpayer on May 1, 2006. Within two years the taxpayer files a claim for refund based on items not previously adjusted on the 2002 return. The refund claim shows an overpayment of $75 of the total $150 paid. The refund claim is limited to $50, the sum paid within the open period preceding the filing of the claim.

(2)

Interest Start Date.

(a)

When a refund of individual income tax is attributable to tax withheld by an employer, or when a refund of individual income tax, corporate excise tax, or corporate income tax is attributable to estimated taxes, the interest start date is 45 days after the return was due or 45 days after the return was filed, whichever is later.

(b)

The interest start date for a refund of estate tax is 45 days after the return was due, 45 days after the original return was filed or 45 days after the tax was paid, whichever is later.

(c)

The interest start date for a refund not described in subsection (2)(a) or (2)(b) of this rule is 45 days after the return was due or 45 days after the tax was paid, whichever is later.

(d)
