I live in Virginia and I work in Maryland. I was using the MW 507 for taxes instead of the Virginia tax form for 2015. How does this affect my taxes?

I do not earn any income in Virginia. I only income by working for my employer which is located in Maryland.

Virginia and Maryland have tax reciprocity.  If you work in MD and live in VA, your wages are not subject to MD income tax.  You only have to file a Virginia tax return.  For tax purposes, the wages you earn in MD are considered VA income, and taxable by VA.  Tax reciprocity applies only to W-2 wages, not to other types of income.

Form MW-507 is a form that you turn in to your MD employer to advise him that you are a VA resident and not subject to MD withholding.  It is not a tax return form.
