Hi!
My husband and I moved to Oregon in June. Before we moved we lived and worked in Idaho and paid state taxes there.
Upon filing our taxes this year, we discover that we are being charged hundreds of dollars by the State of Oregon for income we did not earn here nor even lived here when we earned it.
We went to a professional tax person and he said there was nothing we could do about it... (this guy didn't seem to be the worlds best tax preparer though considering it took 7 hours for him to fill in 2 W2's because he kept forgetting to enter one before he pressed "enter")
When I look at the Department of Revenue site for Oregon it clearly states that Part Year Residents only need to pay taxes on income earned while living in Oregon or income that came from Oregon sources.
What do we do?
Is this possible that we will have to pay state income tax twice?
