State Income Tax

[TFMUNIZ]

In 2021, I worked for a company with offices in the state of Virginia (VA). For the full year, I paid VA state income tax over the wages earned. Given the COVID pandemic, I was allowed to work remotely for the full year. I resided in VA & worked remotely for the first 4 months of 2021 and, then, relocated to the state of Delaware (DE) and worked remotely from there. Since I was a part-time resident (resided only 4 months in VA), the state of VA, and based on what I read on Turbo Tax (TT), TT establishes that I'll only have to pay taxes on the money I received while living in VA. So, since I only worked in VA for 4 months but were deducted the state taxes for the full year, TT indicates I have a refund. Then, in the state of DE, I lived for the other 8 months of 2021 but the source of the income was from VA. Given this, TT indicates that I don't owe any taxes in DE since I didn't earn any income from a Del aware source. Does this sound right? I'm concerned that I'm missing something here because I'm not having to pay full-year VA income taxes since I moved and zero tax in DE because I didn't earn income there. Can someone help clarify this?

As a part-yea resident, you will pay taxes according to where you actually worked, so you have to allocate 1/3 to Virginia and then 2/3 to Delaware.  The amount on your W2 Box 15-16-17 is based on where the withholding was taken- so since your company did not switch over to Delaware, you paid into Virginia all year.  (Your refund from Virginia in theory should be close to the amount you owe in Delaware depending on the state tax rate of course.)
