Should VA income tax be withheld from my paycheck if I live & work in FL?

[vma2234]

My paycheck says VA income tax was withheld. The company is based in VA, but I work remotely in FL where I am a permanent resident. Should I be paying VA taxes?

No, Virginia tax should not be withheld from your pay if you do not live or work in Virginia.

A few states tax remote workers, but Virginia is not one of them.

However, if you sometimes go to the company's office in Virginia, your pay for the days that you are in Virginia is Virginia income, and you do have to pay Virginia tax on that portion of your pay.
