Section 150-118-0020 - Deductions Allowed in Determining Estate Tax or Fiduciary Income Tax

This rule applies to estates of decedents who die on or after January 1, 2012.

(1) An estate may claim deductions allowable under sections 2053 or 2054 of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) for either estate tax purposes or fiduciary income tax purposes, but not both. The executor of an estate may make different elections for federal and Oregon purposes.

(2) If deductions are claimed against fiduciary income, the executor must include with the return a statement that the deductions are not being claimed for estate tax purposes.

Example 1: The executor of Estate A elects to deduct $19,500 of expenses in determining the estate's federal income tax. For Oregon, the executor elects to claim the deduction in determining estate tax. The amount deducted for federal purposes is not allowed for Oregon fiduciary income tax purposes.

Example 2: The executor of Estate B elects to deduct $10,000 of expenses in determining the estate's federal income tax. The executor elects to claim these deductions in determining Oregon's fiduciary income tax. No modification to income is required for Oregon. A deduction may not be made on the Oregon estate tax return.

Example 3: The executor of Estate C elects to claim a deduction of $15,000 for federal estate tax purposes. For Oregon, the executor elects to claim the deduction for fiduciary income tax purposes. The deduction may not also be made on the Oregon estate tax return if the election is made by deducting the $15,000 on the Oregon fiduciary income tax return.
