Thanks for this forum! Here's my question:
We moved from California to Oregon in late February for my spouse's job, selling our house in California and buying a home in Oregon that same month. I think I have finally figured out how to use my TurboTax state software to get credit in Oregon for taxes we've already paid to California in connection with our house sale.
But the rules differ slightly based on whether you are a part-time resident or full-time resident in one of those states.
Since we moved and changed residences 50-something days into the year, TurboTax is guiding us to file as part-time residents. But I contacted the Oregon Dept of Revenue to get some clarity on the tax credit for California taxes paid and was instructed to look at the Oregon Income Tax guide to determine our residency. There is some language that refers to non-domiciled residents being someone who owns a home and spends at least 200 days in Oregon. But that sounds like it could mean somebody who owns a home but lives out of state part of the year.
So can any expert out there advise: Are we part-time residents in both states in 2021? Seems like a situation other California transplants out there have probably experienced.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer
