State tax filing

Why do you live in two states and how do you make money in each state?

 

The simple answer is: you file as resident of one state and a non-resident return for the other. You decide where you are a resident.

 

It is possible to have to file two  full year resident returns, but it's unusual and messy.  Part year resident returns are for a permanent move not a 2 home situation. 

 

PA and VA have a reciprocal agreement on wages.
