Before you leave Oregon
- The state you live in on the day you sell stock or a business interest generally taxes the gain. Selling after you've become a Nevada resident can keep a large gain out of Oregon's reach. Selling the week before the move can't.
- Real estate is taxed where it sits. Selling a Oregon rental or second home after you move still owes Oregon tax on the gain.
- Oregon can still tax income you earned there, such as pay for work done in the state and stock options that vested while you lived there. Federal law bars it from taxing your IRA, 401(k) and pension payments once you've moved.
- Make the move stick: a Nevada driver's license and voter registration, a Nevada home you actually live in, and most of your days spent there.
