Nearly 1.2 million Oregonians have already filed their state personal income tax returns this year.

A release from the Oregon Department of Revenue said that with just two more weeks before taxes are due on April 15th, more than 1 million Oregonians have yet to submit their tax year 2024 returns.

Oregon Department of Revenue Personal Tax and Compliance Division Administrator Megan Denison said, “Taxpayers are slightly ahead of the pace from 2023, the most recent non-kicker year. We still expect to see a rush of returns as we get closer to Tax Day”.  Denison said, “Our best advice for taxpayers is to get their returns in as soon as possible”.

E-filing is the fastest way for taxpayers to get their tax refund. On average, taxpayers who e-file their returns and request their refund via direct deposit receive their refund sooner than those who file paper returns and request paper refund checks. Taxpayers should just file once. Sending a paper return through the mail after e-filing will delay a refund.

Individuals who are not able to file by April 15th can file an extension directly with the Oregon Department of Revenue or with the Internal Revenue Service. If the IRS extension is granted, the Oregon extension is automatically granted.
