I was a part resident in one state, worked and paid state taxes, then moved to a different state with the same job. Why do I owe excessive taxes in my old state?

I’ve lived in Oregon my entire life and have always received a refund. I moved to Alabama in October and listed that while filing. It shows I owe Oregon close to $4,000 while Alabama is giving me a $200 refund and I’m getting a $2,000 Federal refund. Why do I owe Oregon so much money?

No one can see your tax returns, and we do not know what states you are referring to.    If you moved during the year, you need to prepare part-year returns for each state---if each state has a state income tax.

Income you earn by working in State A is taxable by State A, even if you are no longer a resident of State A.  An exception would be if States A & B have tax reciprocity with each other.

As @xmasbaby0 said, we can give you more specific answers if you tell us the two states involved.

@TomD8 I moved from Oregon to Alabama. It’s my first time moving to a different state and I didn’t think it would affect my taxes like this!

@xmasbaby0 Updated! I apologize for the lack of detail 😬
