Lame. OR is rude, man. If I live in WA, but work in OR -- I have to pay their income tax.

Their citizens should be able to do the opposite (not pay state income if they work out of state).

Meanwhile, they are allowed to negate WA sales tax by showing an OR ID. That should go away too.

Oh well.

Yeah, it's a bit lame. I live and work in Washington, but my wife works in Oregon. It's kind of annoying that we have to pay Oregon taxes on her income, and also file the Oregon tax return. A nice benefit of living in Washington is not having to file a state return at all.

Since we live in Washington we don't really get any of the benefit of those income taxes, other than maybe the roads she travels on to commute.
