How do I change my address?

If you have recently moved and need to update your account address you can do it one of many ways.

If you would like to change your address online, you may access your account details through our "Update Personal Info" account. Once you create an account you will be able to update mailing address, phone number, email address, and communication preferences. (Learn more about "MyAccount" services)

If you prefer paper, you may fill out the Change of Address/Name form on your computer, print it, and send it to us; or you may print it, fill it out by hand, and mail or fax it to the Department of Revenue.

You may also indicate your new address on your next tax return. If you have a paper form with the old address, simply cross it out and clearly write the new address on your return. If it is a new form, just include the correct address. Remember to check the box next to address indicating that the address has changed.

Of course, you may still call our taxpayer services representatives at any time to change your address immediately (503-378-4988). In order to protect your confidentiality, we can not accept e-mailed forms at this time.

How do I sign up for a payment plan?

If you have an outstanding balance on any year's taxes, you may pay it in full at any time, plus penalties and interest. If you can't make lump sum payment, you may qualify for a payment plan. You can set up a payment plan online or speak to a Tax Services representative.

Usually, payment plans must be paid within 12 months. For more information, call 503-945-8200

Is there a kicker check/refund this year?

Personal Income Tax Refunds:
The Oregon Legislature decides how much money we need to fund our state resources and prepares biennial (two-year) budgets.

The 1979 Oregon Legislature passed the "2 percent kicker" law. The state must refund revenue to taxpayers when actual General Fund revenues are more than 2 percent above the forecasted amount.

There isn't a kicker refund in 2010. If the calculated revenue is more than the forecast revenue by at least 2 percent, we'll distribute the kicker in 2011.

Business/Corporation Tax Refunds:
The state surplus refund, or kicker also applies to businesses, though it's administered separately from the personal income tax kicker. We don't know yet if businesses will receive a kicker refund for 2010.

Additional information and historical facts about the Oregon surplus refund.
