1. (1) The Oregon net loss which is deductible in any year is the Oregon net loss of a prior year reduced by taxable income, if any, in the intervening tax year or years between the year of loss and the succeeding tax year in which the Oregon net loss deduction is claimed. Net losses occurring in tax years beginning prior to January 1, 1987, can be carried forward five tax years. Net losses occurring in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1987, can be carried forward fifteen tax years. See the limitation on “apportioned” taxpayers in ORS 314.675. In computing the taxable income which will reduce the Oregon net loss which is carried forward, any refund of an expense used in computing the Oregon net loss which is excluded from gross income shall be added to and included in the taxable income of an intervening tax year.

2. (2) If a consolidated Oregon return is filed in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1986, the separate return limitation year (SRLY) rules as defined in Treasury Regulation §1.1502-1, shall be followed. Oregon net losses incurred in tax years beginning prior to January 1, 1986, shall be considered losses from a separate return limitation year. Therefore, the Oregon net losses from those years can be deducted in tax years beginning on or after January 1, 1986, only to the extent the same corporation that incurred the loss has Oregon net income on a separate basis. This limitation does not apply to a corporation that qualifies as a common parent. The provisions of this paragraph are demonstrated by the following examples: [Example not included. See ED. NOTE.]
