I'm a California resident going to school year round in Oregon. I'm not working, so I don't have earned income, but I have passive income from stocks and bonds. I am filing a California state return but my understanding is that because I did not earn any wages in Oregon, I do not have to file an Oregon non-resident state return.
When in California, I had health insurance through Covered California. When I got to Oregon, I signed up for local health insurance through the Oregon marketplace exchange. Because I'm now receiving health insurance through the Oregon marketplace, do I have to file an Oregon non-resident state return? Will this affect my California state return in any way?
No, if you do not have income, having insurance is not listed as one of the requirements for filing a Non Resident Oregon tax return.
Thanks. Does this affect my California state return though? California has Form 3853 for Health Coverage Exemptions and Individual Shared Responsibility Penalty I have to file to calculate a penalty if I didn't have health insurance coverage. But my health insurance is through the Oregon marketplace not Covered California. I can't find anything in the instructions for Form 3853 about what to do if my health insurance is out of state.
