State tax filing

Your W-2 and 1099 are taxable California and Oregon because the money is tied to work your performed in CA but received while a resident of OR. Oregon will give you a credit for tax paid to CA.

 

I am confused why you received a 1099 issued to the attorney. Attorney fees for recovery of back wages are deductible for certain unlawful discrimination claims. Those amounts are generally included as part of your 1099.

 

If the 1099 issued to your attorney is not in your name or Social Security number then you don’t have to include that in income. If that represents your portion of the legal fees, then you would not have a deduction, because the amount is not included in your income.
