Should I file for a credit on my state tax return for tax paid to a different non-resident state in addition to requesting a refund for tax paid to non-resident state?

I lived in VA all year, but earned both in DC and VA.

No - Since you are requesting a full refund of your DC state withholding, you will not be also able to claim a state tax credit on your VA resident state income tax return.

Also because VA and DC have a reciprocal agreement, VA will not allow a state income tax credit on your resident VA state income tax return for taxes paid to DC related to wages.

Use Form D-40B, Non-Resident Request for Refund for your DC withholdings (available by visiting  DC - Tax Forms )
