A BILL FOR AN ACT Relating to income tax deductions; creating new provisions; amending ORS 316.117, 316.130 and 316.695; prescribing an effective date; and providing for revenue raising that requires approval by a three-fifths majority. Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon: SECTION 1. ORS 316.695 is amended to read: 316.695. (1) In addition to the modifications to federal taxable income contained in this chapter, there shall be added to or subtracted from federal taxable income: (a) If, in computing federal income tax for a taxable year, the taxpayer deducted itemized deductions, as defined in section 63(d) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxpayer shall add the amount of itemized deductions deducted (the itemized deductions less an amount, if any, by which the itemized deductions are reduced under section 68 of the Internal Revenue Code). (b) If, in computing federal income tax for a taxable year, the taxpayer deducted the standard deduction, as defined in section 63(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, the taxpayer shall add the amount of the standard deduction deducted. (c)(A) From federal taxable income there shall be subtracted { - the larger of (i) the taxpayer's itemized deductions or (ii) - } a standard deduction. Except as provided in subsection (8) of this section, for purposes of this subparagraph, 'standard deduction ' means the sum of the basic standard deduction and the additional standard deduction. (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the basic standard deduction is: (i) { - $3,280 - } { + $15,000 + }, in the case of joint return filers or a surviving spouse; (ii) { - $1,640 - } { + $7,500 + }, in the case of an individual who is not a married individual and is not a surviving spouse; (iii) { - $1,640 - } { + $7,500 + }, in the case of a married individual who files a separate return; or (iv) { - $2,640 - } { + $12,000 + }, in the case of a head of household. (C)(i) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph for tax years beginning on or after January 1, { - 2003 - } { + 2015 + }, the Department of Revenue shall annually recompute the basic standard deduction for each category of return filer listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph. The basic standard deduction shall be computed by dividing the monthly averaged U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for the 12 consecutive months ending August 31 of the prior calendar year by the average U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for the second quarter of { - 2002 - } { + 2014 + }, then multiplying that quotient by the amount listed under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph for each category of return filer. (ii) If any change in the maximum household income determined under this subparagraph is not a multiple of $5, the increase shall be rounded to the next lower multiple of $5. (iii) As used in this subparagraph, 'U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index' means the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (All Items) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. (D) For purposes of subparagraph (A) of this paragraph, the additional standard deduction is the sum of each additional amount to which the taxpayer is entitled under subsection (7) of this section. (E) As used in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, ' surviving spouse' and 'head of household' have the meaning given those terms in section 2 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(c) If the federal adjusted gross income of the taxpayer is $145,000 or more for the tax year, or, if reported on a joint return, $290,000 or more, the limit is zero and the taxpayer is not allowed a subtraction for federal income taxes under ORS 316.680 (1) for the tax year.

(C) As used in this paragraph, 'U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index' means the U.S. City Average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (All Items) as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor.

If the numerator of the fraction described in this subsection is greater than the denominator, the proportion of 100 percent shall be used in the proration required by this section. As used in this subsection, 'federal adjusted gross income' means the federal adjusted gross income of the taxpayer with the additions, subtractions and other modifications to federal taxable income that relate to adjusted gross income for personal income tax purposes. (2) For part-year resident trusts, the proration made under this section shall be made by reference to the taxable income of the fiduciary. SECTION 3. ORS 316.130 is amended to read: 316.130.

(2)(a) A full-year nonresident individual shall be allowed the deduction for a standard deduction { - or itemized deductions - } allowable to a resident under ORS 316.695 (1) in the proportion provided in ORS 316.117. (b) A full-year nonresident individual shall be allowed to deduct the amount of any accrued federal income taxes and foreign country income taxes as provided in ORS 316.690 in the proportion provided in ORS 316.117.

For purposes of this paragraph, 'alimony or separate maintenance payment' has the meaning given the phrase in section 215 of the Internal Revenue Code. (B) No deduction shall be allowed under this paragraph if the alimony or separate maintenance payment is not includable in the gross income of the nonresident individual for federal income tax purposes under section 682 of the Internal Revenue Code. (3)(a) A full-year nonresident who is a self-employed individual shall be allowed to deduct that individual's contributions to a qualified plan, deductible on that individual's federal income tax return pursuant to section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, in the proportion that the individual's earned income from Oregon sources bears to the individual's earned income from all sources. 'Earned income' has the meaning given in section 401(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code. If the numerator of the fraction described in this paragraph is greater than the denominator, the proration of 100 percent shall be used. (b) A full-year nonresident shall be allowed to deduct that individual's qualified retirement contributions, deductible on that individual's federal income tax return pursuant to section 219 of the Internal Revenue Code, in the proportion that the individual's compensation from Oregon sources bears to the individual's compensation from all sources. 'Compensation' has the meaning given in section 219(f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code. (c) A full-year nonresident individual shall be allowed to deduct the aggregate amounts paid in cash to a medical savings account, deductible on the individual's federal income tax return pursuant to section 220 of the Internal Revenue Code, in the proportion that the individual's compensation from Oregon sources bears to the individual's compensation from all sources. Distributions from a medical savings account, if excluded from income for federal income tax purposes, shall be excluded for Oregon income tax purposes. Distributions from a medical savings account, if included in income for federal tax purposes, shall be included in income for Oregon tax purposes to the extent that an exclusion has been allowed for contributions to the medical savings account for Oregon tax purposes in a previous year.
