Do I need to file?
You need to file if your gross income is more than the amount shown below for your filing status. Even if you don't have a filing requirement, you must file a return if you want to claim a refund of Oregon income tax withheld from your pay or you qualify for a refundable credit.

Note: if you can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return, see Form OR-40 Instructions for the income amounts that apply to you.

Note: If you can be claimed as a dependent on somone else's return, see the instructions for your return for the income amounts that apply to you.
