If your previously rejected Oregon state return for your son has now been accepted, with the instructions to pay the balance due by debit card, the payment should be processed.
Check the bank account for the debit to appear. If it is debited the original amount instead of the corrected amount, you don't have to wait for Oregon to send a bill - you can pay the remaining balance directly to the Oregon Department of Revenue. See instructions here. You can either pay by phone or online.
Oregon offers a credit for personal or dependent exemptions. For 2024, the credit is $249 for each qualifying personal exemption. You are allowed one personal exemption credit for yourself if no one else can claim you as a dependent.
If someone else can claim you as a dependent, you can’t claim an exemption for yourself. This is true even if the other person doesn’t claim you (or your spouse) as a dependent. See Oregon Publication 17 for more information.
Therefore, changing your son's Oregon return to reflect that someone else can claim him could have increased his tax by $249.
