Filed in wrong state? Amend? File?

As a PA resident I began working for a company located in Ohio in Jan 2017. Around the end of February the company moved to new facilities in WV. Upon filing my 2017 taxes in 2018 I filed for both PA and WV and subsequently received a bill for $588 in taxes owed to WV. My W2 listed the "Locality name" as BELLAIRE (OH) CITY TAX @ $532.84 paid in state taxes (showing nothing being paid to WV)...but I filed in WV being that this is where the facilities were then  located. I now have a lein and distress warrant for the WV taxes. Understanding now that OH and WV are both reciprocal states and I should not owe taxes in either, not sure what I should do to resolve everything.

 Ohio has a reciprocal agreement, on wages, with all neighboring states. No Ohio state taxes are withheld or due and you do not need to file an OH return. But your home state will tax you on your Ohio income.

If Ohio taxes are mistakenly withheld, you have to file an Ohio return to get a refund. You should ask your employer to stop withholding so you don't have to file an Ohio return every year.

However the reciprocity agreement does not apply to local city taxes. You are not required to file a local city return, but you are also not entitled to a refund of the city withholding (box19 on your W-2), unless there was an error in the amount.

You can usually use the city taxes paid in OH to offset the local municipal taxes that will be due on your local PA return , if you are subject to one.
