I live in Ohio and work in West Virginia. I don't pay WV state taxes, but when I'm trying to finish filing my taxes Turbo Tax is trying to charge me and WV.

In the personal info section of Turbotax (TT), when it asks if you made money in another state, answer no, per the reciprocal state instructions, on that page. That way you will not be asked to fill out an WV return.

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

If your employer did it correctly, there should be no WV withholding on your W-2 (box 17). If you're stuck just ignore the WV return. For how to delete a state return see https://ttlc.intuit.com/questions/3515336-delete-state-return
