Yes, this is most irregular, especially since the West Virginia amount is much more than the total you made. Is there a state tax withheld for West Virginia? I would tend to say just leave the West Virginia off for filing your taxes, but I would also contact the company because the information on the W2 also goes to the IRS and the states so you do not want West Virginia thinking you made money there- the company would have to correct the record with West Virginia.
Also, it does not happen often, but especially with these multiple state companies, they simply have a typo on the W2.
