Rules of the Oregon credit

The Oregon Earned Income Credit equals 9% of the federal earned income credit, or 12% when the household has a qualifying child under 3 at the end of the year. It is refundable and claimed on Schedule OR-ASC. A parent of one at the 2025 federal plateau of $4,328 receives $390, or $519 with a child under 3. Oregon also allows filers with an ITIN to claim it, computed as if the federal SSN test were met, and House Bill 2087 of 2025 pushed back the date on which the credit was due to end. The other federal eligibility rules apply, including the age range of 25 to 64 for a worker without a child. In the calculator above, open the details to say whether you have a child under 3.

The young child rate

The higher rate needs only one qualifying child under 3; the amount is still 12% of the whole federal credit, for all the children. The Oregon Department of Revenue lists the credit with the other refundable credits. Oregon has a separate Oregon Kids Credit for young children, not added here.

Questions people ask

What is the largest Oregon earned income credit for 2025?

For tax year 2025, filed in 2026, the calculator finds at most $390 with one qualifying child, $644 with two and $724 with three or more, and $58 for a worker without a qualifying child. These are the peaks of the curve for a head of household; your amount depends on your earned income and AGI.

Is the Oregon credit refundable?

Yes. Oregon Earned Income Credit is refundable: when it is larger than the Oregon tax you owe, the difference is paid to you, and a household with no Oregon tax at all receives the full amount. That makes it worth the same to a worker with low income as to one who owes tax. You claim it on Schedule OR-ASC.

Who runs the Oregon credit and where is it claimed?

Oregon Department of Revenue administers it, and the claim goes on Schedule OR-ASC, filed with your Oregon income tax return for the same year. It starts from your federal earned income credit, so the federal return comes first and its figures carry over. Free File, the IRS free filing program, and VITA sites prepare state returns in many states at no charge.
