What changed between versions

A-Engrossed Enrolled · 5 edits · Mar 4, 2026
MODERATE
The bill was finalized into its Enrolled version, removing the preliminary summary and editorial notes. Substantively, it adds state tax addbacks for federal deductions on passenger vehicle loans and small business stock gains, while updating the state's earned income tax credit to match federal percentages. It also introduces a new tax credit for businesses that create new jobs in Oregon.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains focused on aligning Oregon tax law with specific federal provisions and creating new state tax incentives, with no change in the overall subject matter.
REQUIREMENT

Added a new tax credit in Section 12 that provides a credit for taxpayers who create new jobs in Oregon during the tax year.

Added Sections 4 and 5 to require taxpayers to add back to state taxable income any gains from the sale of qualified small business stock that were excluded from federal income.

Added Sections 7 and 9 to require taxpayers to add back to state taxable income the difference between current bonus depreciation deductions and the older 2017 rules.

ELIGIBILITY

Modified the earned income tax credit in ORS 315.266 to increase the credit percentage to 14% for most taxpayers and 17% for those with dependents under age three.

TECHNICAL

Removed the 'A-Engrossed' header, the legislative summary digest, and formatting notes regarding boldfaced and bracketed text.
