Common Oregon tax questions

Does 9.9% apply to all Oregon income?No. It applies only above the top taxable-income threshold.
Why is Paid Leave optional?Most employees pay it, but some are excluded and an employer may pay some or all of the employee share.
Is the transit tax still 0.1%?Yes. Oregon instructs employers to continue at 0.001 after the 2026 ballot measure failed.
Are Portland-area personal taxes automatic?No. Use the local-rate field only as an approximation and calculate progressive local taxes separately.
Are TriMet and Lane payroll taxes deducted?No. Those are employer-paid; separate self-employment transit taxes also require location facts.
Is this Form OR-40?No. It excludes the federal-tax subtraction, credits, itemizing, and special rates.
