Yes, you get the credit for taxes paid to another state when you file your return the next year. You could also opt to reduce your state taxes withheld but you run the risk of owing additional tax next year instead of getting a refund of amounts double-taxed.
You can't be a permanent resident of two states at the same time. Your residence is in the state where you have your primary residence and other more permanent connections. Based on your description of the facts, Oregon appears to be your state of residence.
According to the California tax agency, you’re a resident if either apply:
- Present in California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose
- Domiciled in California, but outside California for a temporary or transitory purpose
According to the Oregon tax agency, you're a resident if:
- You think of Oregon as your permanent home.
- Oregon is the center of your financial, social, and family life.
- Oregon is the place you plan on coming back to when you're away.
You're also considered to be an Oregon resident if you maintain an Oregon residence and spend more than 200 days in the state during the tax year. You're still a full-year resident if you temporarily move out of Oregon, and then move back.
