How to file state taxes when you live in MT and work in OR

do I need to file state taxes in both OR and MT?

[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

Yes, you need to file both OR and MT state returns.

This is how you do it.

1) Prepare Federal return

2) Prepare non-resident OR return -reporting only income earned in OR

3) prepare resident return (MT) reporting ALL income and then taking a credit for taxes paid to another state.
