Information
  1. Complete top portion of the Taxpayer's Retirement Information Worksheet. Completing this information will test whether the taxpayer is eligible for the credit. Ineligible/disqualifying messages appear after this worksheet and before the income worksheets. The calculator starts with neither the taxpayer nor spouse being 62 or over. If a disqualifying message appears, print the page and give to the taxpayer.

  2. Fill out the Pension Information section. If you have selected part year or non-resident, you will have to calculate the Oregon portion of the Total Pension shown on the 1040. (This may be available is TSO but the state was not available at the time this was published.) If the filing status is MFJ and either the TP or SP is under 62, you will have to calculate the taxpayer's portion, in dollars, of the Total Pension amount. The spouse's portion is calculated by subtraction. The system will use this percentage to carry over the appropriate amount of taxable pension that qualifies for the credit.

  3. If all pre-qualification tests are met, Complete the Worksheets and Click the calculate button. This may generate additional disqualification alerts.
