If my employer is in Oregon, but I worked from home 50% of the time in Washington, then I should be refunded 50% of my Oregon State Income tax. Where can I do this?

I already have the amount I should have paid and the amount I should be refunded figured out. I am just trying to figure out how to input it in TurboTax.

Generally, you are taxed in the state where you live and the state(s) where you work.

If the same income is taxed in both places, then the tax is calculated in the nonresident state then brought back to the resident state as a credit. But there is no state income tax in Washington, so you worry only about Oregon.

You file as a nonresident in Oregon. When entering your Oregon data, you should be asked for the amount of Oregon-sourced income. In this case, you enter only income earned for those days that you actually worked in Oregon.

Go through the Oregon interview and see if this works out for you.

Thank you! I did file as a non-resident, but I don't see where it's asking me for the amount of Oregon-sourced income. Do you know where I would see that?

In the Oregon interview, if you have indicated that you want the nonresident return, you will see a screen with the title "Oregon Source Income and Adjustments".

This screen has two columns: federal and Oregon.

Enter only your Oregon source income in the appropriate box (probably Wages). Enter zero in every other box.
