Subject: Survey on Potential Oregon Tax Code Abuse

Oregon Accountants:   As a Co-Chair of the Oregon’s Joint House and Senate Ways & Means Committee, I am a watchdog for how Oregon spends its precious tax dollars.  After watching the two brief news broadcasts linked below showing the extent of the fraud taking place federally, I am concerned about whether or not Oregon’s tax structure may also be manipulated.  Although the state does not have the “Additional Child Tax Credit” mentioned in the newscasts, is abuse of Oregon’s “Working Family Credit” occurring?   If you can spend a few minutes, please watch these two brief newscasts then answer the question below.    Part 1. http://www.wthr.com/video?clipId=7054149&topVideoCatNo=103348&autoStart=true      Part 2.    http://www.wthr.com/story/17861738/will-lawmakers-act-to-close-tax-loophole-for-illegal-immigrants     Below is a single question survey.  We use SurveyMonkey, which sends your comments anonymously. If you would like a response, please include your contact information in the body of your answer.   Thanks in advance for any information you can provide us.     Dennis Richardson State Representative   Survey Question: Are you aware of any Oregon Tax Code provisions (such as the Working Family Child Care Credit) that are being abused at the expense of Oregon taxpayers?
