I lived in Washington state in 2019, but I am not a resident of Washington, I am a resident of Ohio. Where should I say I live?

It depends on your situation. Below are the Ohio residency rules; they will help you determine residency for tax purposes:

Resident

An individual is a resident if domiciled in Ohio for the entire year.

Part-year resident

An individual is a part-year resident if he or she permanently moved into or out of Ohio during 2019.

Nonresident

A nonresident is an individual who was domiciled outside of Ohio for the entire year. An individual will be presumed not to be domiciled in Ohio if an accurate statement of Ohio nonresidency, Form IT NRS, is filed by October 15 of the following year, and attests that he or she:

• Had no more than 212 contact periods with Ohio during the taxable year,

• Had an abode outside of Ohio for the entire taxable year, on which depreciation deduction was not claimed,

• Did not hold an Ohio driver’s license or identification card at any time during the taxable year,

• Did not claim the homestead exemption and/or the owner occupancy property tax reduction for an Ohio property during the taxable year, and

• Did not claim to be an Ohio resident for the purpose of obtaining “in state” tuition at an Ohio institution of higher education.

I lived in Washington the whole time but still used my Ohio driver’s license?? I still need a clearer answer... should i file in Washington (where i lived), Ohio (where my ID is from), or Oregon (where I worked)

Here is the criteria for establishing legal residence in a state. All of these requirements do not need to be met.

Determining State Residency for Income Tax Purposes

Voter registration.
Vehicle registration.
State where you have your driver's license.
Location of your bank.
Location of your legal and medical professionals.
Location of any business that you own and operate.
Contact periods with a state.
Location of your property.

Since you work in Oregon, you will need to complete an Oregon non-resident return. in Washington, if you meet other requirements other than Driver license requirement, than you will not need to file a Washington return because there is not state income tax in Washington. However, if one or more of those other requirements are not met for Washington, then your tax home may be considered Ohio and you will need to file an Ohio resident return.
