I work in one state { WV } but live in VA my employer withholds my taxes for VA. Do I still file for both

[DS30 · Accepted solution]

No. You will only need to fill a VA resident state income tax return.

WV and VA have what is called a state reciprocal agreement. This allows nonresidents to not have state withholding taxes taken out for wages earned in the state.

Therefore, if your only source of WV income is wages, you will have no WV state income tax filing requirement. You will report all your wages on your VA resident state income tax return.

In the software...in that situation, you do not say that you worked in another state during the year...that WV income is treated as-if earned in VA.

how do I delete a state

[DS30]

Just go back into TurboTax, under the state taxes tab and delete West Virginia from your list of state returns. This should remove this state from your filing list.

It doesn't have the option to delete

[DS30]

Select that you want to start the WV state return under the state taxes tab. The system will start calculating. Then go back into the state tab at the top of the screen and you should now get a choice for WV to either continue or delete.

You won't be charged for just starting the state return. You are only charged when you are getting ready to file.
