What can slow down my Oregon refund?

Oregon names mailing a paper return, errors that need adjusting, a missing or incomplete return, a return picked for more review, and more than one return under your name as common reasons for delay.

A paper return needs all required Oregon schedules, proof of tax withheld and a copy of your federal return. Leaving out the federal return delays processing.
Returns mailed close to April 15 can take longer, and so can returns that need identity verification or proof of tax withheld.

What else should I know about Oregon's Where's My Refund?

It shows refunds for the current filing period only, not amended returns or earlier years.

It is updated once a day, overnight, but Oregon says a status is unlikely to change daily.
Contact Oregon if your status has not changed in more than 20 weeks. The numbers are 503-378-4988 and 800-356-4222, 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, closed 9 to 11 a.m. on Thursdays and on holidays.
Oregon generally pays interest on a refund from 45 days after the due date or the day you file, whichever is later. Not all refunds earn interest.
