It's a New Year and we have a new opportunity to support our Oregon Film Incentive. Please help us get the word out - share with your vendors, clients, friends, family, and colleagues. There will be a second auction of approximately $400,000 2019 OPIF Tax Credits sold at online auction from 9am Wednesday, January 8, 2020 to 5pm Friday, January 10, 2020. Want more updates and reminders? Please sign up for our OPIF Tax Credit Auction Newsletter on this link. These credits can be bid on, purchased and used by individual tax payers and business tax payers alike, and are intended to be used on their Oregon state tax returns. Also, the IRS recently clarified the ways in which the purchase of these credits by businesses may be deducted as a business expense. Credits are good for 3 years and can be used to pay your 2018 Oregon State taxes.
