ORS 314.140
Adjustment of returns of related taxpayers after reallocation of income or deduction on federal return
(1)
Whenever there has been an adjustment of federal income tax liability involving a reallocation of any item of income or deduction between related taxpayers, and when such adjustment results in the assessment of a tax deficiency or the issuance of a refund check or both, then for Oregon income tax purposes, whether or not the Department of Revenue effects a similar reallocation of income or deduction for the same tax year, said federal tax deficiency and additions thereto shall be deducted (to the extent otherwise provided by law) by the taxpayer paying the same, and said federal tax refund, including interest thereon, shall be returned (to the extent otherwise required by law) by the taxpayer receiving the same.(2)
If, however, the related taxpayers involved (or their authorized representatives) so elect in accordance with subsection (3), then the refund of one, with interest thereon, shall be treated as a reduction of the deficiency of the other, including additions thereto, so that only the net amount of deficiency shall be deducted or the net amount of refund shall be returned, as the case may be.(3)
An election under subsection (2) shall be in writing, signed by each related taxpayer or authorized representative, and filed with the department prior to the expiration of the applicable period of limitation with respect to the adjustment of the last open state return of either related taxpayer affected by the federal tax deficiency or refund. Such election shall constitute a waiver of any statute of limitations to permit the adjustment of all returns of the related taxpayers for the purpose only of effecting a reallocation of income or deductions similar to that made by the federal tax authorities and to adjust the federal income tax deductions resulting therefrom. [1953 c.702 §4](1)

Entities that are pass-through entities owned entirely by individuals subject to the personal income tax imposed under ORS chapter 316.(2)
The election to pay the pass-through business alternative income tax is available if consent is given by all members of the electing pass-through entity who are members at the time the election is filed or is made by any officer, manager or member of the electing pass-through entity who is authorized, under law or the entity’s organizational documents, to make the election and who represents to having such authorization under penalties of perjury. The election shall be made annually on or before the due date, including extensions, of the pass-through entity’s return, in the form and manner prescribed by the Department of Revenue. The election may not be made retroactively. The members of a pass-through entity may revoke an election under this section for a tax year only on or before the due date of the pass-through entity’s return for that tax year, and only if the revocation is agreed to by all members who are members at the time of the revocation.(3)
In determining the sum of distributive proceeds and computing the tax under this section, a pass-through entity shall add back any amount of Oregon tax imposed under this chapter [ORS chapter 314] and deducted by the pass-through entity at the entity level for federal income tax purposes under section 164 of the Internal Revenue Code.(4)
Each pass-through entity that makes an election for a tax year pursuant to this section shall annually report to each of its members, for the tax year, the member’s share of distributive proceeds and share of tax paid under this section and eligible for the credit allowed under section 8 of this 2021 Act.(5)
The tax imposed on a pass-through entity pursuant to this section shall be determined with respect to the sum of each member’s share of distributive proceeds attributable to the pass-through entity for the tax year.(6)
The rate of the tax imposed by and computed under this section is:(a)
Nine percent of the first $250,000, or fraction thereof, of the sum of distributive proceeds; and(b)
Nine and nine-tenths percent of any amount of distributive proceeds in excess of $250,000.(7)
The amount of pass-through business alternative income tax due from a pass-through entity in a tax year shall be exclusive of any amount of tax due and paid by the pass-through entity under this chapter, except as otherwise provided in sections 2 to 6 of this 2021 Act.(8)
Pass-through entities that have made an election under this section shall file an entity tax return. The return shall be accompanied by payment and shall be due on the date applicable to returns due under ORS chapter 316, as provided in ORS 314.385 (Form of returns). [2021 c.589 §3](2)
The department may adopt or establish rules and procedures that the department considers necessary or appropriate for the implementation, administration and enforcement of sections 2 to 6 of this 2021 Act and that are consistent with sections 2 to 6 of this 2021 Act. [2021 c.589 §5]
