State tax filing

VA and DC have a state reciprocal agreement. See What is a state reciprocal agreement? Did you fill out the D-4A for the time you lived in VA and worked in DC? Both VA and DC require you to claim income earned while living there.

 

I am going to assume for my answer that you did not fill anything out. In that case, VA income would be taxed on Jan-Aug. DC income would be taxed on Sep - Dec income. The taxes paid to different areas will probably cause a tax liability in VA and a refund in DC.

 

You can preview your state returns.

  • If you are using the online version:
    1. Go to the state return and enter 
    2. go to Tax Tools,
    3. then select Tools,
    4. select View Tax Summary,
    5. you should see your state summary, if not, look on the left side and select it.
  • In the desktop program, switch to forms mode.
