About do they take state taxes out of my check if i work in washington but live in oregon

Do they take state taxes out of my check if i work in washington but live in oregon?
I live in Portland but work in Vancouver. In washington they normally don't take state taxes out of your check but Oregon they do. I live in Oregon... Do I need to pay extra taxes later to the state if they don't take out state taxes out of my Oregon check or how does it work? Thanks for the help!

Answer 1 :
They should. Since you're an Oregon resident, you have to file as an Oregan resident. You're going to pay it one way or another. You pay exactly the same amount no matter what they do. The only way your return would be higher is if they charge you penalties for not having it withheld or paying it on time. (The guy below me is wrong. Washington state has NO INCOME TAX. You probably knew that. He might be from New York.)
Answer 2 :
Oh Joy, you get to file two state income tax returns. After you do your federal, you do your washington income. Then you write a check, or get a refund. Then you have to do your Orogon return. But they give you full credit for the taxes you paid in Washington. But wait, there is more. The state taxes that were with held for 2009, you can claim on your federal 2009 return. But when you write a check, you have to claim that on your 2010 return. As for me, I have to file taxes in Colorado, New Mexico and Missouri. It could be worse. Senator Al Franklin had to file tax returns in almost 50 states. Then he filed for a big refund from Minnesota. And this is a guy who writes jokes for a living.
Answer 3 :
Mark M is wrong. You cannot "file two state income tax returns" because only one of these two states has state income tax returns. You must file a federal (IRS) tax return and an Oregon tax return. You must pay Oregon taxes. If they do not withhold from your pay, then you should make estimated tax payments to Oregon four times each year. You should not wait until you file.
Answer 4 :
Yes you are going to have to take Taxes out for Oregon just head over to there City Building and they will guide you along the way to getting this goal accomplished correctly.
