I worked in west va, and live in pa, even tho state taxes show paid, pa is still saying I owe? What am I doing wrong with reciprocal state

[MaryK4]

You must effectively "swap" the money by filing two separate state returns: 

File a West Virginia Nonresident Return

• Mark your status as a "Special Nonresident" or indicate you are a PA resident claiming reciprocity.
• This return should show $0 income for WV and request a full refund of every cent withheld in Box 17 of your W-2.

File a Pennsylvania Resident Return

• Report all your income to PA.
• Since you have no PA withholding, you will have to pay PA out of pocket.
• Ideally, you use the refund you get back from WV to pay the bill you owe to PA.

Action to Prevent This Next Year

Submit Form Form WV/IT-104NR to your employer's HR department. This tells them you are a PA resident so they will stop taking WV taxes and start withholding PA taxes instead.

Please clarify what  "even tho state taxes show paid" means.

PA has a reciprocal agreement, on wages,  with WV. No WV state tax should be withheld or due and you do not normally need to file a  WV return. But PA will tax you on your WV income.

If WV tax is mistakenly withheld, you then have to file a return, for WV, to get a refund. PA will not give you a credit. You should ask your employer to stop withholding so you don't have to file a WV return every year.
