Oregon Standard Credits are generally nonrefundable tax credits available to taxpayers filing Form OR-40, OR-40-N, or OR-40-P. Standard credits are generally claimed for the current tax year unless a specific Oregon law provides a carryforward for the credit. Taxpayers must use standard credits before claiming carryforward or refundable credits. The credits are listed under codes 800–834 and are reported on Schedule OR-ASC, Section D (for Form OR-40 filers) or Schedule OR-ASC-NP, Section G (for Form OR-40-N and Form OR-40-P filers). The total standard credit amount is entered on line 27 of Form OR-40, line 52 of Form OR-40-N, or line 51 of Form OR-40-P.
