State tax filing

@dpa500 if the capital gains and rent were earned after you left VA, they do NOT go on the VA return - that is why you are not asked about it.  But there may be a twist here. 

 

The capital gains is cut and dried - you state it was earned after you left VA.  It goes on the other state's tax return.  What state? 

 

THe rent can be a challenge.  to be clear, where is the property that you are earning the rent from?  Are you saying the residence you were living in was turned into a rental? Where is this property? it is not clear and makes a difference. 

 

why do you think "you need to account for that income" on the VA return? What is the other state?
