Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your daughter will file a non-resident California income tax return because she worked in California and a resident Oregon return. Oregon will give her credit for tax paid to California.

 

Even though she did not earn any income in Oregon, she is still an Oregon resident. Attending college in another state is not considered a permanent move.

 

In the California section answer:

  • No          Did you become a California resident
  • No          Did you become a California nonresident
  • Yes         Were you a California nonresident during all of 2020?

The residency questions will not come up on a nonresident return.
