Personal injury against an insurance company is about the only thing that ever is done on contingency. Chances of finding anyone in these specializations are poor to nil.

I have no idea what any of this means, but if you're looking for a good lawyer referral service you could try http://www.badproducts.com. They helped me find a lawyer in my area for a malpractice case. It seemed like they had a pretty long list of contacts, so maybe they could find one who can help you too.

Will my spouses income be taxed if she is a resident of Nevada but works in Washington

Will my spouses income be taxed if she is a resident of Nevada but works in Washington?
I'm in the military. My spouse is a Nevada resident (no state taxes), but we are moving to Washington. If she gets a job there would she pay taxes in Washington or none for Nevada? Or Both?

she's gonna pay the washington taxes . Taxation depends on the place where you reside and work at the moment and not where you originate from .
2 :
Washington State does not have an income tax. So, neither.
3 :
When your spouse takes a job in Washington and also lives in Washington she becomes a resident of the state of Washington and her income from employment within the state will be taxed by that state. Only the military member can continue to claim state residency in another state from where they are stationed (and employed.) By the way, I don't believe Nevada has a state Income tax.
4 :
You must report income to the state in which you work. The same income you must also report to the state which is your tax home. Read about taxes for two states: http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/06/working-in-two-or-more-states.html

Do I need to pay Oregon state tax? (Live/work in Washington. Wife lives/works in Oregon)

Do I need to pay Oregon state tax? (Live/work in Washington. Wife lives/works in Oregon)?
My wife works and lives in Portland, Oregon (Oregon resident). I works and lives in Washington (Washington resident). I have zero Oregon income. Recently I got mail notice asking me to pay Oregon state tax for all my Washington income. That sounds absurd --- I feel that I should not pay ANY Oregon tax. I called them and someone then told me I need pay Oregon state tax for 50% of my Washington income, due to some law between Oregon and Washington. Question: Do I really need to pay the Oregon tax? If so, is it 50% percent? Thank you for the guidance/advice. My wife and I filed Federal Return together, and State Tax return seperately. My company in Washington is >$200 miles from Portland. Sorry it is hard to locate a job in Portland. We filed state tax seperately. My wife is Oregon resident. I am Washington resident. I moved from Michigan to Washington, since i can not find a job in Portland.

Dear B:: Multiple states are not easy to file as there are many different scenarios. In your case it looks like if you file MFJ (Jointly) you will have to allocate the income between OR and WA. Your income taxed in WA and hers in OR. I would get advice from a tax pro who lives near you and has experience with the OR/WA issue. Another way to do it is to file MFS for each state if that is permitted by law. Also some states allow a credit for taxes paid to another state. It is unusual for your spouse to live in another state, that complicates the issue also. You should not have any tax liability to OR. This advice was prepared based on our understanding of the tax law in effect at the time it was written as it applies to the facts that you provided. Click on my profile to read more.

You live and work in Washington, a community property state with no state income tax. Your wife lives and works in Oregon, a seperate property state with state income tax. If you and your wife are a community and you file jointly (married filing jointly) half of your Washington community property income is you wife's. That half is taxable to her state of residance. There may be some tax relief between Washingtion and Oregon. You should consult a tax professional, such as an EA, who has experience with both states.

Yes need a tax expert. I have the same issues. Not a simple answer. We file married but separate, but we have other issues also. Typically you take ALL the family income. Then come up with a percent of time in Oregon and multiply all the income by that for oregon.... But as I said, not quite that simple. If you wife lived in Washington, then only her income would be subject to Oregon tax. Sounds like they are saying YOU are also an Oregon resident.

your 'tax home' is where you work, and for your wife, there is no question, but for you, your 'tax home' is Washington filing jointly is probably causing you this problem, therefore you probably should file separately
