No, if you worked in the District of Columbia, you would file a nonresident DC return and report your DC income if you are required to file.  Nonresidents working in DC would use Form D-40B to claim a refund if DC taxes were withheld in error- in general, this is if you did not work in DC or live in a reciprocal state.

 

You must file a DC tax return if:

  • You were a resident of the District of Columbia, and you were required to file a federal tax return.
  • Your permanent residence was in the District of Columbia for either part of or the full taxable year.
  • You lived in the District of Columbia for 183 days or more during the taxable year, even if your permanent residence was outside the District of Columbia.
  • You were a member of the armed forces, and your home of record was the District of Columbia for either part of or the full taxable year.
