Does one have to worry about tax implications if they switch jobs from working and living in WA to working in Oregon? TIA.

Listen to your wife.

Oregon will want their pound of flesh. You will have to pay an Oregon income tax on all wages earned in Oregon.

Job better be worth it for that commute and loss of income.

Pro Tip: Have her do the shopping in Oregon before she comes home.

Also...Listen to your tax guy. He's probably infinitely smarter about taxes than most of the filthy savages that hang out here.

No offense you filthy savages.

We have several WA residents working for my employer who is based in Oregon, and yes your wife will have to pay "non-resident" Oregon income tax on all income earned within Oregon borders.

Some of the WA residents keep track of their hours worked outside of Oregon and have our payroll dept. log it accordingly.

FYI- The non-resident rate isn't much different from the full-resident rate…. gotta pay for hookers and blow for aunt Kate.
