Oregon state tax on Workcampers?

If they withold any taxes, you would have to file to get a refund in any state. Most have a dollar amount that you would need to earn before you actually owe any tax, but you would need to file to get what was withheld back as a refund. No biggie.

You need to find out if you are going to get a tax statement W2/1099? Then you need to find out if OR has a min earned wage to report. OR is a heavily taxed state. They tax retirement income and go by your Fed return, so be carefull.

Old-Biscuit is right. We've been doing this for 7 years. :-)

The federal IRS requires 'barter' workcamping to be a 24 hr on call position to qualify for exemption..
We have written that 'on call ' requirement into our workcamper agreement in compliance with law.

Might want to rethink that....

You will have to file a 'resident' state income tax return (if state has one) and then a 'non-resident' state income with state were income was earned.

Ditto on this.

I worked in Oregon and in Arizona in 2011 and I filed a tax return in both states as a Non-Resident. As a South Dakota Resident I did not need to file for my home or resident state.

As far as causing issues it did not even though I messed up the Oregon return and they (Oregon) reviewed it and then sent my refund to me.

At a $1 a day you will be under the minimum income level to file an Oregon tax return - you might choose to do so if they withhold Oregon income tax so you can get a refund. Your choice.

If you earn money in any state you must follow the state income tax rules for that state. Here is a good resource for tax rates and standard deductions per state: http://taxfoundation.org/article_ns/state-individual-income-tax-rates-2000-2013

if you are single, you have to make more than $2025/year for oregon income tax requirement.
