My W2 is showing state income for VA (where I live) and DE (periodic remote work from). Do I need to report DE Source Income on my state return?

I received a W2 from both VA and DE. I permanently live in VA, but work remote from my parents house in DE from time to time. My VA W2 only has amounts reported in Boxes 15 - 17, and my DE W2 has the rest of the information populated. The state taxes reported on my VA W2 equal the Box 1 amount on my DE W2, but then my DE W2 has an additional amount reported in excess of that amount. When completing my DE state return when I get to the DE Source Income screen it asks me to enter the portion of the Box 1 amount that is from a DE source. Since my VA W2 already covers the full federal amount should I list $0? My DE W2 has the AA and DD codes listed on it, so not sure if the DE state wages and tax are based off of that.

You must report the Delaware amounts for the time you worked in Delaware.  You must also report all the income on your Virginia return because you are a Virginia resident.  For Virginia, you will get a credit for the taxes paid to Delaware so you are not double taxed.
