State tax filing

@ddsobolev  The advice that @DavidD66 gave you is almost always correct - you should file your non-resident return first and then claim a credit in your home state for the taxes you paid elsewhere. 

 

But Oregon is wacky and doesn't allow a credit for taxes paid to Arizona, California, Indiana and Virginia.  So in this case you will file your resident Oregon return and then after it is complete you will file your non-resident California return for the same period and take credit on the California return for taxes paid to Oregon. 

 

The TurboTax software should walk you through this.
