State tax filing
I have an Oklahoma-related unemployment tax question as well: I lived in Oregon until April of 2020, when I moved to Oklahoma. I received unemployment from Oregon for several months after I moved to Oklahoma (and no unemployment while living in Oregon). Oregon taxes and federal taxes were withheld from my unemployment benefits at the time the money was disbursed.
I declared my unemployment income on my Oklahoma tax return under the question that was something like "Did you earn any income from other states while living in Oklahoma?" Now it seems I owe additional tax to Oklahoma for the unemployment income from Oregon. Does this seem correct to you?
I have spoken to two different tax specialists who have given me drastically different answers. One said I need to amend both of my state tax returns and pay additional taxes to Oregon; the other says I was correct in reporting the unemployment income on my Oklahoma return only. It does seem strange to pay taxes to two different states for the same income. Oklahoma has much lower income taxes so if I could only pay Oklahoma taxes that would be ideal. Thanks for your insight and expertise.
