Taxable Income of Resident
(1)
Definition. The taxable income of a resident of this state is taxable income as defined in the laws of the United States, modified and adjusted by ORS Chapter 316 (Personal Income Tax) and other laws of this state applicable to personal income taxation. Such laws have the general effect of incorporating all the provisions of the federal Internal Revenue Code with regard to the measurement of personal taxable income except as otherwise specifically provided by Oregon law. For example, the Oregon standard deduction is not deductible in the same amount as the federal standard deduction amount.(2)
Oregon Adjusted Gross Income Defined.(a)
For tax years beginning prior to January 1, 1985, Oregon adjusted gross income is federal adjusted gross income as defined under IRC Section 62 as of the dates specified in ORS 316.012 (Terms have same meaning as in federal laws). Oregon adjusted gross income incorporates any differences between the federal definition of adjusted gross income and the Oregon definition of adjusted gross income for any given year.(b)
For tax years beginning after December 31, 1984, Oregon adjusted gross income is federal adjusted gross income without any of the modifications, additions, or subtractions required under ORS Chapter 316 (Personal Income Tax).(3)
Transfers of property between spouses or incident to divorce. The transfer of property from one spouse to another incident to a divorce property settlement is considered a nontaxable event for Oregon purposes. The basis of the property transferred in the hands of the transferor shall carry over and become the basis of the property in the hands of the transferee.(4)
Community property income. An Oregon resident whose spouse resides in a community property state is taxable upon the share of the spouse’s community property income that is considered earned by the Oregon resident according to the laws of the community property state. Credit for taxes paid to another state under ORS 316.082 (Credit for taxes paid another state) is allowed to Oregon residents whose share of community property income is taxed by Oregon and another state. See ORS 316.082 (Credit for taxes paid another state) and the rules thereunder for computation of the credit.(5)
Distribution of a trust’s income accumulation. See ORS 316.737 (Amount specially taxed under federal law to be included in computation of state taxable income) and OAR 150-316-0575 (Amount Specially Taxed Under Federal Law to Be Included in Computation of State Taxable Income: Accumulation Distributions) for the treatment of trust income accumulation distributions.(6)
Retirement benefit plans.(a)
Resident taxpayers must include in Oregon taxable income all amounts received from retirement benefit plans. For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1996, and before January 1, 2000, nonresidents are not taxed by Oregon on retirement income. For tax years beginning after December 31, 1999, nonresidents who retain their Oregon domicile are taxable on Oregon source retirement income. See ORS 316.127 (Income of nonresident from Oregon sources)(a).(b)
Conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA under IRC Section 408A is deemed a distribution for federal tax purposes. The amount included in federal taxable income is taxable to an Oregon resident. A taxpayer who is an Oregon resident for a part of tax year 1998 and who elects to recognize the conversion amount over four years, must include a prorated amount in Oregon income. If the election to recognize income over four years is not made, the converted amount must be included in income if the taxpayer is an Oregon resident at the date of conversion.(c)
Conversion of traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs after 1998. For tax years after 1998, converted amounts must be included in Oregon taxable income if, at the time the conversion is made, the taxpayer is an Oregon resident.
