Filing an amended return
Oregon doesn't have a specific amended return form for corporations. You'll use the same form type you originally filed for the tax year you're amending and check the "amended" box. See the form instructions for additional information and requirements.
File your amended return separately from your current year's return.
Important: Don't amend to carry a net operating loss back. Oregon only allows corporations to carry net operating losses forward.
Prior tax liability
When preparing your amended return, on the estimated tax payments line, enter the net tax from the original return or as previously adjusted. Don't include penalty or interest payments.
Payment with your amended return
If paying additional tax with your amended return, you must include interest with your payment. Interest is calculated from the day after the due date of your original return up to the day we receive your full payment.
Pay all tax and interest due when you file your amended return, or within 30 days of receiving a billing notice from us, to avoid a 5 percent late payment penalty.
Don’t make your amended return payment by electronic funds transfer (EFT). You can pay using Revenue Online, or by check or money order. Make sure to write "Amended Payment" on your check or money order and include a completed Form OR-20-V with the "Amended" box checked.
If you're including your payment with your amended return, do not use Form OR-20-V payment voucher. If you're mailing your payment separate from your amended return, include a Form OR-20-V.
Protective claims
Don't file an amended return as a protective claim. Use Oregon Form OR-PCR, Protective Claim for Refund, when your claim to a refund is contingent on a pending court decision or legislative action. Notify us within 90 days of the final determination by filing an amended return. Don't file an amended return before the pending action is final.
