I am moving next week from OR (with state tax) to WA (no state taxes) and work from home most of the time. My employer is based in OR. I work about 2 to 5 hours per week in OR (I go to a couple in-office or client meetings).
1. Do I need to file an OR non-resident return for next tax year (2025/2026) and claim those hours in OR even though it is less than 10% of my working hours for the year? What is the maximum time I can spend in OR to not have to claim hours there? My HR rep said that if I spend less than 4 hours in OR weekly that I do not have to file tax hours in OR.
2. Do I file a partial resident return for this year since I am moving to WA on 11/1?
3. My pay is both salary and commission. OR double taxes my commission because they consider it “extra” income. Will the hours I need to claim for working in OR be based on my salary pay only or ALL of my pay?
Thanks!
