What is the deadline to qualify for a tax credit?

You can keep contributing to your Oregon ABLE account to earn the previous year’s tax credit all the way up until you file your tax return. Contributions after Tax Day count towards the next year's tax return.

This means if you file your 2025 tax return on April 15th, 2026, any contributions made before that date can count towards earning your 2025 tax credit, even if those contributions were made in 2026. Each contribution may only be claimed once for tax purposes, so if you claim a contribution made in 2026 on your 2025 tax return, it won’t count towards earning your 2026 tax credit next year.
