Oregon Estate Tax Hits Retired Couple Far Below Federal Threshold

Original: The Federal Estate Tax Won't Start Until $15 Million in 2026. Oregon's Starts at $1 Million, and $600,000 of a Retired Couple's $1.6 Million Estate Will Be Exposed to It

A retired Oregon couple with a $1.6 million estate faces the state's inheritance tax, which kicks in at just $1 million, exposing roughly $600,000 of their assets. This contrasts sharply with the federal estate tax, which will not apply until estates reach $15 million in 2026. The gap highlights how state-level taxes can catch middle-class families long before federal rules do.

Why now: People are alarmed by how much lower Oregon's estate tax threshold is than the new federal one, hitting ordinary retirees.
