Learn about Oregon tax filing deadlines and potential penalties for late payment or filing.
Introduction to Oregon Tax Filing
Oregon taxes are due on the same date as federal taxes, which is typically April 15th of each year. However, if the 15th falls on a weekend or federal holiday, the deadline is extended to the next business day. It is essential to file taxes on time to avoid penalties and interest.
The Oregon Department of Revenue offers various filing options, including e-filing and paper filing. Taxpayers can also request an automatic six-month extension, which will give them until October 15th to file their tax return.
