No. You do not have to file a DC return. Nonresidents are non-taxable in DC. Nonresidents who erroneously had DC income tax withheld or made DC estimated tax payments may file Form D-40B to request a refund. However, since no tax was withheld, you do not need to file a return.
Per Individual Income Tax Filing FAQs, Do I have to file a DC income tax return?
You must file a DC tax return if:
- You were a resident of the District of Columbia and you were required to file a federal tax return. (A resident is an individual domiciled in DC at any time during the taxable year);
- You maintained a place of abode in DC for a total of 183 days or more even if your permanent home was outside of DC;
- You were a part-year resident of DC (see instructions for part-year residents);
- You were a member of the United States (U.S.) armed forces and your home of record was the District of Columbia for either part of or the full taxable year;
- You are the spouse of an exempt military person or of any other exempt person such as a nonresident presidential appointee or an elected official;
- If you want to receive a refund of DC taxes withheld during the year, or if you qualify for and want to receive the following refundable credits:
- The DC Earned Income Tax Credit;
- Schedule N, Non-Custodial Parent Earned Income Tax Credit;
- Schedule H, Homeowner and Renter Property Tax Credit; or
