State tax filing

You will report them in Virginia.

 

Virginia and West Virginia have state reciprocity.  This means that you only have to pay taxes on income from the other state within your resident state.  Since you lived in Virginia when you started receiving your unemployment income, it will be taxed within Virginia.
