Live in VA, physically worked in MD for part of 2022, then switched to a remote job - how to file state tax return electronically?
Hi,
I have a question about completing my state tax return for 2022. I asked a question about this back in December (https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/state-taxes/discussion/live-in-va-physically-worked-in-md-for-part...) but that was about whether I needed to complete a MD state tax return or not. I have lived in VA since 2010. In early 2022, I commuted to my job in MD for the first few months of the year (Job A). I completed a MW507 form when I first started working for them in 2017. Then I switched to a remote job (Job B), which started in August. I have been working from home in VA since I left Job A. Now, the company/building for Job B is physically located in MD as well, but I believe Job B is considered VA income, since that is where I have been physically located (i.e., working remotely).
So, the complicated part - there are two W-2 forms I received - one for Job A and one for Job B. I am almost done with my state return on TurboTax but now it's telling me "On Form W-2 from [job in MD during first part of 2022], you entered Virginia withholding greater than 25% of Virginia wages. Please review your W-2 and change the incorrect entry. NOTE - You cannot file your Virginia return electronically if you have a W-2 with Virginia withholding greater than 25% of Virginia wages. You can, however, e-file your federal return in this situation." I am pretty confused about this. Is there a way for me to still submit my VA return electronically? For this Job A W-2, there is $ listed under VA state income tax, but not under MD state income tax (since I was never a resident there), and there is $ listed under MD state wages but $0 for VA wages. I don't know if TurboTax is just getting confused about this Job A W-2 because it sees that VA wages were $0 and yet there was $ withheld for VA. The odd thing is that I obviously did have VA wages in 2022 from Job B, since I work remotely now. But I don't know if TurboTax considers each W-2 separately.
What should I do?? Thanks so much in advance - I'm not a tax expert by any means. I'm just hoping I can still submit everything electronically.
