State tax filing

Thanks. When I said "I did pay taxes on my D.C. W-2 form," I meant that taxes were taken out on my W2 form from my job that is based in D.C. I didn't realize that the state they were paid to was Virginia.

 

So in my case, because VA is listed as the taxing state on that W2 form, then I was assessed the correct amount of state tax. D.C. owes me nothing, because they collected nothing.

 

Had the box on my W2 form said "DC" in box 15, then it would have been double taxation, and I would have needed to file a D.C. tax return along with a request to have all my D.C. taxes refunded.

 

So to sum it all up. I just need to submit a Virginia state tax return. The D.C. one is not needed.

 

Thanks for everyone's help. I hope this question helps others in the future, because it sure helped me.
