Remote Work for company

I live in Virginia, but a company I plan to work fully remotely for cannot withhold taxes in this state. However, they can in DC. Is it possible for me to have my income withheld for Washington, DC and file a non-resident return there to get the money back and then also file simultaneously in VA to pay VA given the reciprocity? Ideally I'd like to work out of VA. If that is not an option, can I physically or virtually work out of DC and achieve the same results?

A non-resident of DC cannot file a DC tax return.  DC income tax applies only to DC residents.  DC does not even have non-resident tax return forms.

 

You can work in VA even if your employer cannot withhold VA income tax for you.  You would simply have to make quarterly estimated tax payments to VA.  See this reference for the details on that:

If you choose to work in DC while keeping your residence in VA, then you will be subject only to VA income tax.
