How to Pay Oregon Taxes?
The IRS offers free guided tax software through its Free File program for low-income taxpayers. Oregon has its own version, Direct File Oregon, which is available for all residents.
If you are a resident, you can use the state’s free fillable forms to file your return electronically. This option performs basic calculations and is ideal for taxpayers who do not need help preparing their returns. Those who need help filing their Oregon returns can use the IRS’s Direct File program. To make an Oregon State Tax payment, you will need your account number (located in the upper right corner of your statement), social security number, and payment amount. The payment must be made by November 15 to qualify for any discount available and avoid interest on the past due portion of your tax.
Alternatively, you can make an Oregon tax payment online with your credit or debit card by visiting the Oregon Revenue Online site. Select the “Make a Payment” option, then choose either “Pay now with checking or savings” or “Pay now with credit or debit card”. Please note that there is a convenience fee for this service. This fee is based on the total amount of your payment.
Oregon Taxes Due Dates
For individuals, the regular deadline to file an Oregon tax return is April 15. Partnerships and Fiduciaries – March 15 if no additional tax is due or they filed a federal extension. If additional tax is due, they should complete voucher form OR-40-V by April 15, check the “extension payment” box, and send it with tax payment to the address printed on the form.
If you need more money to pay your Oregon tax balance, the state’s Department of Revenue will help you set up a payment plan, as it says on its website. The site notes that it will usually take three years to pay off the debt through a plan.
The agency will not file a lien against you, and it says you can avoid a tax sale of your home by getting current on the debt. It will also not garnish wages, bank accounts, or contractual payments — except for Social Security or disability benefits, it says on its site.
