TurboTax advises to always start with the nonresident returns. That way, the double taxed income and tax will flow to your resident return.
Contact your Oregon-based company. Oregon does not tax remote workers so you should not pay any Oregon tax, much less local tax.
Oregon says: “Oregon law requires that every employer withhold income tax from both resident and nonresident employees working in Oregon.
“Transit payroll tax is imposed on nearly every employer who pays wages for services performed in the TriMet or LTD districts regardless of whether those services are performed by resident or nonresident employees.”
Withholding/Transit Tax Information: Out-of-state/Nonresident Employers
The wage difference might be some type of payroll mix up where the company either started or stopped withholding sometime during your employment.
You will probably have to file a nonresident Oregon return to get your withholding back. In such cases it’s prudent to mail your return with a statement explaining why you are claiming $0 state wages and enclose a copy of your resident return showing all wages properly reported.
