Question of State Income Tax ?I live in Washington statae

Edwards Finance > Income Tax

Q. Got a question on the State Income Tax. I live in Washington statae and will be working at home for an Oregon Corporation. My questions are: 1) Do I have to pay for the Oregon State Tax? 2) I will be filling the taxes with my wife, whom is working in WA state. If I had to pay for the Oregon State Tax, how am I going to file the taxes?

A. -In such a situation, the Oregon company should be witholding Washington state income tax, not Oregon state income tax, so there shouldn't be any problem for you. This is because you never perform your employee services in Oregon. -This leads me to a similar question. I've never really paid attention to cross state line tax situations, but a friend of mine who live and works in Ohio right now is thinking of moving to either Kentucky or Indiana, but is wondering if he is going to have to pay income taxes in both states (and city and county crap too). I said I think you do, but was not sure. Does this vary from state to state? I know Ohio does not look at state residency as a test for paying, they just charge everyone. -Most states tax you where the income is earned. If you are employed in another state (one different from your state of residence), and that state has taxed the income earned there, then your state (the state of residence) usually has a tax credit (or other adjustment) that is usually the lesser amount of the tax you would have paid to your state of residence, or the taxes actually paid to the other state. Confusing ehe?
