Where do I locate the 'tax liability' amount for the section that says, "Tell Us About Your 2022 Oregon Return"? I don't remember having a Form OR-40 so I'm confused

Is the form OR-40 different from W-2?

Yes, the form OR-40 is quite different from the W-2. 

 

Form OR-40 is the page 1 of the Oregon tax return (like 1040 is for the federal return).

 

The W-2 is, of course, what your employer gives you as a record of your wages.

Your W-2 is the document your employer issues to you and to the IRS to show how much you were paid and how much tax was withheld from your pay.

Your OR-40 is the state tax return form you prepared for the state and sent to the state to seek a tax refund from the state.  It will be in your online account for 2022.

 

  You have to access your own account and/or  print it for yourself using exactly the same account and user ID that you used when you prepared the return.

 

Start a 2023 return online and enter some personal information  so that the menu on the left opens up and lets you access your past year returns.

Many people have multiple TT accounts and forget how to access them.  Log out of the account you are in now.

SAVE YOUR TAX RETURN !

 

EVERY year before mid-October you should save a copy of your tax return as a pdf and print a copy of it for your records.  That way you will not be searching online frantically when you need it for a lender, FAFSA forms, your next tax return, etc.

I want to know that same answer.  form OR-40 doesn't say "Oregon Tax Liability" on it anywhere.

It could vary based on why you are asking, but Oregon's tax liability is probably line 20 on the OR-40. Note that the answer might also vary if you are not a full-time resident so using a different form.
