Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If your W-2 showed VA income and VA tax withheld, the TurboTax program will prompt you to prepare a VA tax return.

 

If you want a refund of the VA tax withheld, follow the program's prompts to prepare the VA return - in the income allocation screen of the VA tax program, simply show that you had "0" VA income..

 

Depending on how much tax was withheld, you may not want to file a VA return - you will have to pay an additional fee for the VA tax return program and a fee to e-file it. I

 

f the refund will be less than the additional cost to file in VA, then it won't make sense to do so - VA will just keep what was withheld and both of you will benefit.
