What Most Oregonians Don't Know

Did You Know Oregon Taxes Estates Starting at Just $1 Million?

The federal estate tax exemption is $13.6 million — so most people assume they're fine. But Oregon's threshold is only $1 million, and that catches more families than you'd think.

$1M

You Might Already Be Over the Line

Oregon starts taxing estates at just $1 million — and that includes your home, retirement accounts, and life insurance. If you own property in Portland, Salem, Bend, or Eugene, there's a real chance your estate already crosses that threshold. Most people have no idea until it's too late.

What Couples Can Save With the Right Plan

With proper planning, married couples can often shelter significantly more from Oregon estate taxes — potentially saving $100,000 or more that would otherwise go straight to the state. It's one of the most impactful things you can do for your family, and it's completely legal.

Most

People Don't Find Out Until It's Too Late

Here's the hard truth: most Oregon families don't learn about the $1 million threshold until they're settling an estate and the tax bill arrives. By then, the planning window has closed. The good news is that if you're reading this now, you still have time to act.
