Q. Do I file taxes for both states?

A. No. 

 

VA & WV have a reciprocal agreement, on wages. No VA taxes are withheld or due and you do not normally need to file a VA return. But WV will tax you on your other state income.

 

If VA taxes are mistakenly withheld, you then have to file a VA return,  to get a refund. WV will not give you a credit, for taxes mistakenly withheld by a reciprocal state.

Thanks! I knew I didn't get enough sleep last night.  I've gone back and deleted my incorrect answer.
