Hello,
I have a peculiar situation that I could use some expert help on. My wife physically worked in the state of Oregon (which has state income tax) for three months (March) of 2020, while residing in our home state of Washington (which has no state income tax). After three months, she was transitioned to permanent work from home for the remainder of the year. However, her employer chose not to update her employment status until November of 2020. This resulted in the state of Oregon collecting income tax from her for 8 months, all while she never physically worked in Oregon and earned her income while working remotely in the no income tax state of Washington.
As it stands, her employer refuses to correct her W2 and we're basically eating $2,000.00 in income tax to a state that should not have taxed her after March of 2020. Is there anything we can do to claim exemption from this? Hopefully, someone with experience in these two states can help?
