Ok, this makes sense and it is what I thought was correct. So this leads to my next question(s) on how to enter on TurboTax.
The Virginia State Return for the Part-Year Allocation says "Enter the portion of the following items you earned or received while a Virginia resident." This is where I would enter my unemployment since it all came to me while I was in Virginia. I will then file my Virginia Tax Return even though they do not tax Unemployment Benefits because it still has to be counted there.
The West Virginia State Return has a question that says "Select the part-year information for West Virginia that applies to you, and enter the date of your move." Which option is the correct one?
- I Moved out of West Virginia and had WV Source Income During my Period of Nonresidency?
- It says to "...enter your West Virginia part-year income allocations and adjustments to income. You will need to enter amounts for the income earned while you were a resident including West Virginia source income you earned while a nonresident. Enter a zero, if none."
- If I choose this option and enter my WV unemployment as "West Virginia Income While Nonresident", it appears that WV is taxing the unemployment amount and decreasing my refund.
- I Moved out of West Virginia and had no WV Source Income During my Period of Nonresidency?
- If I choose this option, my unemployment is not taxed in WV and my refund stays the same.
I am not sure which I choose since unemployment is taxed in the state I was a resident (VA) even though VA doesn't tax it when I received it or do I still pay taxes in WV on it. Any help would be appreciated.
