SPECIAL NOTE ABOUT E-FILE AND THE JANUARY 26, 2010 SPECIAL ELECTION
As you know, the Department of Revenue is requesting that taxpayer's not file until the results of the special election are known. (The special election will take place January 26, 2010.) We won't be processing any tax year 2009 returns until after the election results are tallied. However, we will continue to acknowledge electronically filed returns as either accepted or rejected as they are received.
If you have clients that are not impacted by the Special Election (higher income, unemployment income, etc.), you could file that return electronically prior to the election. You will receive a timely acknowledgment from Oregon to indicate that the return has been accepted or rejected. However, we won't send that return on through our complete processing system until the election results are tallied. We will also be holding paper and bar code returns.
Electronically filed returns will still receive a processing priority when we turn on our processing system. Flipping your early clients to paper will not get that return through our processing system ahead of an electronically filed return. We encourage you to keep your clients as electronic filers.
If you have any questions about how the January 26th Special Election will impact our processing system time line please email us at:
