Be It Enacted by the People of the State of Oregon:
SECTION 1. ORS 316.680 is amended to read:
316.680. (1) There shall be subtracted from federal taxable
income:
(a) The interest or dividends on obligations of the United
States and its territories and possessions or of any authority,
commission or instrumentality of the United States to the extent
includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes but
exempt from state income taxes under the laws of the United
States. However, the amount subtracted under this paragraph shall
be reduced by any interest on indebtedness incurred to carry the
obligations or securities described in this paragraph, and by any
expenses incurred in the production of interest or dividend
income described in this paragraph to the extent that such
expenses, including amortizable bond premiums, are deductible in
determining federal taxable income.
(b) The amount of any federal income taxes accrued by the
taxpayer during the taxable year as described in ORS 316.685,
less the amount of any refunds of federal taxes previously
accrued for which a tax benefit was received.
(c)(A) If the taxpayer does not qualify for the subtraction
under subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, compensation (other
than pension or retirement pay) received for active service
performed by a member of the Armed Forces of the United States in
an amount not to exceed $3,000 per annum.
(B) For the tax year of initial draft or enlistment into the
Armed Forces of the United States or for the tax year of
discharge from or termination of full-time active duty for the
Armed Forces of the United States, compensation (other than
pension or retirement pay or pay for service when on military
reserve duty) paid by the Armed Forces of the United States for
services performed outside this state, if the taxpayer is on
active duty as a full-time officer, enlistee or draftee, with the
Armed Forces of the United States.
(d) For taxable years open to audit on October 5, 1973, the
amount of any deferred income which was added to federal taxable
income for state tax purposes under subsection (2)(e) of this
section in a prior taxable year and which is now added to federal
taxable income. For purposes of this paragraph, the amount
subtracted shall not exceed the amount of gain now reported on
the federal return. If the gain is a capital gain or subject to
capital gain treatment, the adjustments under this paragraph
shall be similar to the adjustments made under subsection (2)(e)
of this section in the prior year.
(e) Amounts allowable under sections 2621(a)(2) and 2622(b) of
the Internal Revenue Code to the extent that the taxpayer does
not elect under section 642(g) of the Internal Revenue Code to
reduce federal taxable income by those amounts.
(f) Any supplemental payments made to JOBS Plus Program
participants under ORS 411.892.

with a state or local government of the United States (including
the District of Columbia) occurring before October 1, 1991.

state is not eligible for the subtraction established under this
paragraph.
(C) Pension income described in subparagraph (A) of this
paragraph and attributable to employment occurring before October
1, 1991, shall be determined by multiplying the total amount of
pension income from such employment for the tax year by the ratio
of the number of months of creditable service occurring before
October 1, 1991, over the total number of months of creditable
service.
(D) As used in this paragraph:
(i) 'Creditable service' means those periods of time during
which an employee of a state or local government of the United
States, other than this state or a municipal corporation or
political subdivision of this state, earned a pension.
(ii) 'Pension' means any form of retirement allowance provided
by a state or local government of the United States, other than
this state or any municipal corporation or political subdivision
of this state, as a result of a state or local government
enactment. + }
(2) There shall be added to federal taxable income:
(a) Interest or dividends, exempt from federal income tax, on
obligations or securities of any foreign state or of a political
subdivision or authority of any foreign state. However, the
amount added under this paragraph shall be reduced by any
interest on indebtedness incurred to carry the obligations or
securities described in this paragraph and by any expenses
incurred in the production of interest or dividend income
described in this paragraph.
(b) Interest or dividends on obligations of any authority,
commission, instrumentality and territorial possession of the
United States which by the laws of the United States are exempt
from federal income tax but not from state income taxes. However,

interest on indebtedness incurred to carry the obligations or
securities described in this paragraph and by any expenses
incurred in the production of interest or dividend income
described in this paragraph.

pursuant to sections 613, 613A, 614, 616 and 617 of the Internal
Revenue Code.
(e) The amount of any gain which is deferred for tax
recognition purposes upon the voluntary or involuntary conversion
or exchange of tangible real or personal property as provided
under ORS 314.290.
(f) For taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 1985,
the dollar amount deducted under section 151 of the Internal
Revenue Code for personal exemptions for the taxable year.
(g) The amount taken as a deduction on the taxpayer's federal
return for unused qualified business credits under section 196 of
the Internal Revenue Code.
(h) The amount of any increased benefits paid to a taxpayer
under chapter 569, Oregon Laws 1995, under the provisions of
chapter 796, Oregon Laws 1991, and under section 26, chapter 815,
Oregon Laws 1991, that is not includable in the taxpayer's
federal taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code.
(3) Discount and gain or loss on retirement or disposition of
obligations described under subsection (2)(a) of this section
issued on or after January 1, 1985, shall be treated for purposes
of this chapter in the same manner as under sections 1271 to 1283
and other pertinent sections of the Internal Revenue Code as if
the obligations, although issued by a foreign state or a
political subdivision of a foreign state, were not tax exempt
under the Internal Revenue Code.
