I work in WV but am a nonresident and live in OH. My W2 states that state income tax was taken out for OH. It's having me uncheck the "nonresidency" Is this correct?

Correct.

West Virginia and Ohio have a tax reciprocity agreement which prevents double taxation.

Even though your employer is in West Virginia, the taxes have been properly withheld and paid to Ohio. This means you are not a "nonresident."

You will not need to file a West Virginia state income tax return.
