Oregon filing notes
Do not use old Oregon 2025 bracket and deduction values for 2026 planning. Oregon has no sales tax, but the 8.75% bracket reaches many middle-income filers. Include the limited federal tax subtraction when estimating Oregon taxable income, and check Portland/Multnomah/Metro local taxes separately.
Common mistakes: Exceeding the SALT cap; Deducting taxes on property not owned by you; Double-counting taxes paid through escrow; Including special assessments that increase property value.
