Department of Revenue expands tax filing, payment extensions
Salem — The Oregon De-
partment of Revenue today
announced an expansion of
the types of tax returns for
which filing and payment
deadlines have been ex-
tended due to COVID-19.
The director of the De-
partment of Revenue has
issued Director’s Order
2020–02 exercising her le-
gal authority, during the
COVID-19 state of emer-
gency, to order further ex-
tensions for 2019 tax year
filing and payment due
dates for certain affected
taxpayers as indicated be-
low.
As part of these relief ini-
tiatives, the department is
also temporarily modifying
some of its collection pro-
cesses for individuals and
businesses in Oregon.
For personal income,
transit
self-employment,
estate, partnership, S-Cor-
poration, and corporate ex-
cise/income taxpayers and
filers:
• The Oregon return fil-
ing due date is automati-
cally extended until July 15,
2020 for any returns due on
or after April 1, 2020 and
before July 15, 2020.
• The Oregon return fil-
ing due date is automati-
cally extended until July 15,
2020 for any returns with a
valid six-month extension
period ending on or after
April 1, 2020 and before
July 15, 2020.
• The Oregon tax pay-
ment deadline for payments
due with the tax year 2019
tax return is automatically
extended to July 15, 2020.
Corporate excise/income
or personal income tax re-
turns required to be filed
with regard to an estate
or trust pursuant to ORS
316.267 to ORS 316.317 are
also eligible for this relief.
Fiscal year returns and
related payments due after
July 15, 2020 are not ex-
tended at this time.
Revenue Director’s Or-
der 2020–02 also provides
a temporary extension of
the time to submit written
objections or requests for a
conference and issue notic-
es as follows:
• The deadline for filing a
written objection or request
for a conference with the
department after issuance
of a Notice of Deficiency,
Notice of Proposed Refund
Adjustment, or Notice of
Liability is extended to 90
days after the date on the
Notice of Deficiency, Notice
of Proposed Refund Adjust-
ment, or Notice of Liability.
This provision applies to
deadlines for filing a writ-
ten objection or request for
a conference that expire on
or after April 1, 2020 and
before July 16, 2020.
• The period within
which the department may
issue a Notice of Assess-
ment, Notice of Refund
Denial, or conference let-
ter affirming, canceling,
or adjusting the Notice of
Liability is extended to 14
months after the date on the
Notice of Deficiency, Notice
of Proposed Refund Adjust-
ment, or Notice of Liabili-
ty with regard to a written
objection or conference
request received within the
90-day period allowed un-
der this order.
Appeal timeframes to the
Oregon Tax Court from a
final notice or action of the
department are not changed
by this order.
Additionally, this order
provides a temporary ex-
tension of time to request
certain refunds and issue
notices.
• The deadline for filing a
claim for refund is extend-
ed to July 15, 2020, if the
deadline for filing the claim
for refund otherwise would
have expired on or after
April 1, 2020 and before
July 15, 2020.
Finally, this order extends
the deadline for filing an
application with the county
assessor for property tax de-
ferral for tax year 2020–21
under ORS 311.672 to June
15, 2020.
Regarding collections
Taxpayers should not
skip or reduce current
payments. Those who are
unable to pay their debt in
full can resolve outstanding
debt and avoid automated
collection by arranging a
payment agreement with
the department.
Those unable to comply
with their existing pay-
ment agreement between
now and June 30, 2020 can
request a modification to
their payment plan by call-
notoriously
jammed
during this period of
surging unemployment
claims, putting Dana in
a position in which they
feel helpless to fix the is-
sue.
Now Dana’s best bet
rests with frequent
check-up calls from
LCPH; Dana is hoping
one of those calls will
give them the okay to
leave the house.
“Even if it’s just for a
walk,” said Dana. “And
as soon as I figure out if
the government will pay
for this test, I’m going to
insist that I get one.”
As a healthcare work-
er for the past 25 years,
Dana also hopes to help
other people in similar
predicaments once they
have recovered.
“But right now, I can’t
help anybody do any-
thing,” Dana said. “I
can’t even help me.”
For the time being,
Dana is engaging the
hope that their story
can serve as a caution-
ary tale for community
members who are unim-
pressed by the threat of
COVID-19.
“I’m hoping that all
these naysayers — may-
be a couple of them will
come around to the fact
that this is serious,” said
Dana. “Okay, wearing a
face mask isn’t pleasant.
… But I had a mild case
and didn’t like it. I can’t
imagine being stuck in
the hospital 30 or 40 or
50 days fighting for your
own life.”
According to Oregon
Health Authority data
which began reporting
COVID-19 cases by ZIP
code on May 5, the Cot-
tage Grove code 97424
has been confirmed to
have anywhere between
1 to 9 cases and a total of
55 cases have been iden-
tified in Lane County as
of press time.
“I’m really thankful
that I ended up with a
mild case,” said Dana.
“They’ve been talking
on the news about a sec-
ond wave of infections
and I’m hoping that I
don’t get it again.”
