You would be required to file West Virginia and Ohio tax returns. You would have to decide if you want to file the federal return separate or joint.
Married taxpayers must have filed a joint federal return to be eligible to file a joint West Virginia return.
If taxpayers filed a joint federal return, they can elect to file West Virginia as either Married Filing Jointly, or Married Filing Separately. Your wife could elect to report her Ohio income to West Virginia. She could also report the Ohio income as a nonresident then claim the credit for taxes paid to Ohio on the West Virginia return.
Ohio requires the same filing status used on the federal return. Because of the reciprocity agreement, you could report the income from Pennsylvania on your Ohio return.
