Relocation tax to what state

I was relocated from Texas to Washington State with the company I'm working for in Oregon. I understand I need to pay taxes to Oregon on my earned income but do I also have to pay state taxes on the relocation amount to Oregon even though I'm a Washington resident? Would I back the relocation amount out of my state tax form or how does that work since Washington does not have state taxes nor does Texas. I'm just unsure how this works since the company is in Oregon but I understand I pay it on the state I relocated to..

Relocation tax to what state

In most cases, you pay income tax to the state where you performed the work, not necessarily the location of the employer.  If you did not work in Oregon, you would not be required to file a nonresident tax return.  (Note: if you worked in Oregon occasionally at the home office for meetings you may have to file in Oregon).
