OAR 150-316-0171
Gross Income of Nonresidents; Other Income and Sale of Property
(1)
Income from intangible personal property.(a)
Business situs. Intangible personal property, including money or credits, of a nonresident has a situs for taxation in Oregon when used in the conduct of the taxpayer’s business, trade, or profession in Oregon. Income from the use of such property, including dividends, interest, royalties, and other income from money or credits, constitutes a part of the income from a business, trade, or profession carried on in Oregon when such property is acquired or used in the course of such business, trade, or profession as a capital or current asset and is held in that capacity at the time the income arises.(b)
If a nonresident pledges stocks, bonds, or other intangible personal property in Oregon as security for the payment of indebtedness, taxes, etc., incurred in connection with a business in this state, the property has a business situs here. Thus, if a nonresident maintains a branch office here and a bank account on which the agent in charge of the branch office may draw for the payment of expenses in connection with the activities in this state, the bank account has a business situs here. If intangible personal property of a nonresident has acquired a business situs here, the entire income from the property, including gains from the sales of the property, regardless of where the sale is consummated, is income from sources within this state and is taxable to the nonresident.(2)
Sales of property.(a)
Tangible property. The gain from any sale, exchange, or other disposition by a nonresident of real or tangible personal property located in Oregon is taxable, even though it is not connected with a business carried on in this state. The loss from such a transaction is deductible if it is a business loss or a transaction entered into for profit. The gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of real property or tangible personal property located in Oregon is determined in the same manner and recognized to the same extent as the gain or loss from a similar transaction by a resident.(b)
Intangible property. The gain from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of intangible personal property, including stocks, bonds, and other securities is not taxable unless the intangible personal property has acquired a business situs in Oregon. See section (1) of this rule. Likewise, losses from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of such property are not deductible, unless they are losses incurred in a business carried on within Oregon by the nonresident taxpayer.(c)
S corporation stock. In general, a nonresident’s gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or disposition of S corporation stock is not attributable to a business carried on in this state and is not Oregon source income. The gain or loss from the S corporation stock may not be used in the determination of Oregon taxable income unless the stock has acquired a business situs in this state. See section (1) of this rule.(d)
General Partnership Interests. A nonresident’s gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or disposition of a general partnership interest in an Oregon partnership is attributable to a business carried on in Oregon and is Oregon source income. The gain or loss is allocated as provided in ORS 314.635 (Allocation to this state of capital gains and losses).(e)
Limited Partnership Interests. In general, a nonresident’s gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or disposition of a limited partnership interest is not attributable to a business carried on in Oregon and is not Oregon source income. The gain or loss from the sale of the interest will not be used in the determination of Oregon taxable income unless the limited partnership interest has acquired a business situs in this state (see section (1) of this rule.).(f)
Limited Liability Company Interests. The taxation of a nonresident’s gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or disposition of an interest in a limited liability company (LLC) operating in Oregon is Oregon source income and is taxed in the same manner as:(A)
The sale of a general partnership interest under subsection (2)(d) of this rule if the selling member is a member-manager of the LLC; or(B)
The sale of a limited partnership interest under subsection (2)(e) of this rule if the selling member is not a member-manager of the LLC.(C)
For purposes of this rule, a person is a “member-manager” of an LLC if that member has the right to participate in the management and conduct of the LLC’s business. For an LLC that is designated as a member-managed LLC in its articles of organization, all members of the LLC will be member-managers. For an LLC that is designated as a manager-managed LLC in its articles of organization, only those persons who are both members of the LLC and are designated as a manager in the LLC’s operating agreement (or elected as managers by the LLC members pursuant to the operating agreement) will be member-managers.(g)
Limited Liability Partnership Interests. A nonresident’s gain or loss from the sale, exchange, or disposition of an interest in a limited liability partnership is taxed in the same manner as if it were a general partnership interest under subsection (2)(d) of this rule.(3)
Interest income received on contract sale of property. Interest income received by a nonresident from the sale of Oregon property is not Oregon source income. The source of the income is not from the sale of the property but rather from the use of the money permitted the buyer in an installment contract.(4)
Distribution of a trust’s income accumulation to a nonresident. 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.(5)
Net operating losses. See OAR 150-316-0005 and 150-316-0035 (Oregon Net Operating Losses — Treatment After 1984) for the treatment of net operating losses.(6)
Passive activity losses. See OAR 150-314-0110 (Allocation of Oregon Modifications to Passive Activity Losses) for the treatment of passive activity losses.
