How do I report a second W-2 for a state I earned no money in, in 2020?
So at the end of 2019 as I was preparing for a move, I was able to transfer stores in the same company from Virginia to Idaho. My last pay in VA was in mid-December 2019 and I started working at the new location in ID in early-mid January 2020, so I made no money in VA in 2020.
What's strange to me is that I got sent a W-2 from the VA location as well as from the ID location. The ID W-2 is complete with the usual information but the VA W-2 is mostly empty, including Box 1-6. Box 15-17 contain the VA location's information however. Box 16 has the exact state wage information from my time working at the ID location and Box 17 has the VA state income tax information.
I have seen so far on other threads here that you are supposed to input everything from Box 15-17 in another line and I found how to do that, but my question/concern is that, I did not earn any money in VA at all during all of 2020 and the VA W-2 seems to be my ID income in Box 16 but it seems that I still had income tax in Box 17. What do I do for that? Do I input the income from the VA W-2 as well even though it's actually my ID income with VA state income tax? Again, this is from the same company - which I am no longer at because of COVID.
