Oregon Political Tax Credit

The Oregon Political Tax Credit is not a well-known credit, but one that can be taken advantage of easily. By making a donation of $50 ($100 if married filing joint) to a political campaign of your choice, you can reduce your taxes or increase your refund by that same $50 or $100.

Qualified political campaigns include:

  • Political parties
  • Qualified candidates for federal, state or local office to be voted for in Oregon
  • Political action committee certified in Oregon.

For a full list, visit www.oregontaxcredit.com

To claim the tax credit, enter the amount of your donation (not more than $50 for single filers and $100 if married filing joint) on line 40 on the second page of Form 40.
