Just had an awesome conversation with the WV income tax help line. Here is the deal. They withhold income taxes in case you made a profit on the sale of a WV home. You can file a form WV/NRSR to get it returned to you BUT only in the time slot of 60 to 120 days after the sale. Regardless of whether you file that form or not, you ALSO must file a WV tax return and supporting documents. Those forms are: IT140, WV schedule A, WV 8949 and Federal Schedule D. If you made any profit, you can file a WV schedule M as well which might give you a deduction. That's it. Turbo tax filled out the IT140 for me but it couldn't handle the rest, had to do it manually.
