State tax filing

Hmmmmm two completely opposite answers. Box 15 on my W2 does say Virginia. So your answer makes sense too.

I pulled this up on tax.virginia.gov:

 

"If you’re a Virginia resident, all of your income is subject to Virginia individual income tax, no matter where it was earned or what its source. If you received income from another state and were required to pay income taxes as a nonresident in that state, you may be eligible for a credit for the income taxes you paid to that state provided the income is also taxed by Virginia. If you earn income in a state that doesn’t have an income tax, you are not eligible for this credit on that income.

 

If you have income from the District of Columbia and you meet the criteria for exemption from DC income tax under reciprocity provisions, you can’t claim this credit {This is in regards to Schedule OSC, which I am not claiming}. If your employer withheld DC income tax from your wages, file the D-40B Nonresident Request for Refund to request a refund of the amount withheld."

-Reference (https://www.tax.virginia.gov/credit-for-taxes-paid-to-another-state)

 

That seemed to make sense too.

 

Turbotax did state in the progam that I was double taxed. You would think that since my W-2 had Virginia on it, and not DC, that Turbotax would be smart enough to know omit the statement about double taxation if it wasn't true.
