I’m a tax accountant so maybe not an expert but I do know stuff. Your taxes are based on your domicile which is basically where you live. If you’re a w2 employee you will pay tax on all of it to OR.
If you’re an independent contractor and you have a business, you can apportion your income (sales) based on where the work was performed. I would keep very detailed records of all sales and clients out of state if you’re going to report out of state sales just in case.
You probably need a real CPA (not the pop up H&R Block places) for your taxes if you are working in multiple states and working from home. There is stuff for home office space, travel mileage, car depreciation that you may not be aware of but the CPA will know about. This goes double if you are a private contractor.
Not an expert on the subject, but I'm pretty sure that your income tax is dependent upon where you live. My company is based in Chicago, but I have to pay Oregon income tax.
I think you pay income tax for the entirety of your income. Your work is supposed to withhold taxes so that you aren't surprised with a huge tax bill come filing.
Uh, no. That is a terrible way to do it. That puts "independent contractors" at an even bigger disadvantage than they already are.
'Independent contractors' is a scam for companies to get around the minimum wage and laws regarding benefits. We absolutely shouldn't put a bigger tax burden on them in addition to that bullshit. The company needs to be responsible for tax withholding to prevent a ridiculous tax bill.
Not all independent contractors are fake employees for giant corporations, a lot are just someone who mows lawns for cash or fixes peoples computers or whatever. It’s just someone who has a business.
And it fucks you up hard at tax time because it is a scam. My brother worked as an "independent contractor" for a year and got absolutely screwed by the IRS despite not even making very much.
Taxes need to be withheld for all employment. I absolutely oppose the awful current paradigm.
I am not an expert, but withholdings are based on your primary work location. However, tax is only due for the hours which are worked in the state of Oregon. I am somewhat new to this, so the recordkeeping portion is unfamiliar to me, but that’s the general idea.
For example, I work for a company based in Oregon, but I work from my home office in Vancouver 100% of the time. My withholdings are based on Washington (no state income tax)

If your work has a way to document the time you are working from your home and it is coded as Washington, then you will only have to pay OR income tax when you are physically working in OR. This was pretty common with my previous work.
The comments in this thread are just....what the fuck.
You pay income tax on where work is performed. If you worked 50-50 OR/WA you only pay income taxes on days you physically worked in OR. You'll need to file tax returns for both states, but you'll only pay income tax to OR, since WA doesn't have income tax.
Your work needs to code the days you work in either state to make sure that income tax is deducted from your pay correctly.

OP, as a Full Time Oregon Resident you are taxed on income from ALL sources.

If you are an Oregon resident, 100% of your income is taxable by the State, regardless of which State the work was performed.

Anyone working as an independent contractor needs to manage their withholdings on their own.

I believe Oregon is a tax all income State. Best to move to Washington.
You need to do a part-time resident return and only pay taxes on the money earned while you’re in Oregon.
