Reference computation

For a Oregon pass-through entity with $500,000 of qualified net income allocated to this state, at a 37% federal marginal bracket, the entity-level PTET and federal-deduction math is:

Oregon — reference example

QBI allocation·OR rate= Entity-level tax

$500,000×9%=$45,000

ORS 314.778 et seq. (Pass-Through Entity Elective Tax); ORS 314.605–314.675 (apportionment)

Entity tax·Federal bracket= Federal deduction (gross)

$45,000×37%=$16,650

At a 37% federal bracket, the entity-level deduction saves $16,650 in federal tax. Net of §199A QBI offset (~20% × bracket × entity tax = $3,330), aggregate benefit is approximately $13,320.
