Q. How do I file state tax returns and not have to owe KY.
A. That can't be done, for 2024. The info you provided is somewhat limited, but it appears that WV tax was mistakenly withheld on your 2024 W-2.
You have to file a WV nonresident return to get a full refund and file a KY resident return to pay your KY tax.
The WV form has specific instructions for a reciprocal state refund (complete only Part II). Rather than paying TurboTax for WV software, you could try filing that form by hand. It looks pretty simple.
