Tax Credit Transfers

Organizations with no Oregon tax liability, such as non-profits, schools, tribes, cities, or other public entities, may apply for and transfer the credit to an Oregon taxpayer. The parties to this transaction submit a Transfer Notice to the Oregon Department of Revenue (DOR) prior to the taxpayer’s tax year end, each and every year the taxpayer claims the credit.
