Scholarship Awards used for Housing Expenses
(1)
If a scholarship award is used to pay housing expenses, the taxpayer may subtract the amount paid for such expenses from federal taxable income, but not in excess of the amount of the award included in federal taxable income.(2)
For purposes of ORS 316.846 (Scholarship awards used for housing expenses) and this rule, “housing expenses” are the reasonable expenses paid or incurred during the taxable year by an individual for housing for the individual. The term includes expenses attributable to the housing (such as utilities and insurance) and not otherwise taken into account as a deduction on the federal income tax return of the individual. Housing expenses will be treated as reasonable to the extent the department determines the expenses are neither lavish nor extravagant under the circumstances.
