Or. Admin. R. 150-314-0317 - Estimated Tax: Consolidated Return Underpayments
150-314-0317
Estimated Tax: Consolidated Return Underpayments
(1) If a consolidated state return is filed, any underpayment shall be computed on a consolidated basis. In computing the underpayment on a consolidated basis, the tax and facts shown on the returns for the preceding year shall be aggregated regardless of whether consolidated or separate returns were filed.
Example 1: Corporation A and B file a consolidated state return in 1995. They filed separate returns in 1994 and for 1995 made separate estimated tax payments.
(2) If separate returns are filed and estimated tax is paid on a consolidated basis, then the payments and prior year’s tax may be divided between the various corporation’s liabilities in any manner designated by the Oregon taxpayers.
Example 2: In 1995, Corporations A and B are required to file separate state returns. They had filed consolidated in 1994 and made consolidated estimated tax payments for 1995.
