Yes, I would recommend that method you describe. Do not count as working days in Virginia his telecommuting. There are states that consider telecommuting for a company in their state to be working in their state, but Virginia is not one of those states. For Virginia, you are taxed on income earned when physically present there.
So, to calculate Virginia income, I would use the method you describe: divide the days spent working in Virginia by the total number of work days in the year, and multiply that percentage by the salary you earned. Prepare the Virginia return first, because Oklahoma taxes all of your income no matter where it was earned, but they provide a credit for the tax you pay to Virginia on the income earned there. Preparing the Virginia return first allows TurboTax to calculate the credit for you.
