I live in West Virginia and had West Virginia state taxes withheld. Only worked in Virginia, why do I need to file Virginia taxes?

go back to the MY INFO page.

Go to the bottom of that sheet and take out VA as an Other State that you worked in...due to the Reciprocal Tax Agreement between WV and VA...you only (effectively) worked all year in WV. As long as only WV taxes are withheld...then you only worked in WV (effectively).

Then go to the States page and delete the VA forms. (and try to remember that for next year)
