    Your State of Residence can tax all your income, regardless of its source.  So your income is 100% taxable by your home state of Virginia.

     

    If you're a non-resident of New York, and your remote work was 100% carried out from a Virginia location, then it is not taxable by New York.  New York taxes non-residents on income from work actually (physically) performed within the State of New York.  Was any of your worked actually carried on in New York, even for a single day?

    No I never was in New York never even visited. When I do my state tax it will not allow me to change allocation for state it is automatically selected 100% allocation to state Ney York.

    If your W-2 shows NY state taxes were withheld you will need to file a NY state Non-Resident tax return first.  Then prepare your VA return after and the MY return.  This will cause the returns to calculate properly, if all questions are answered accurately.  It is important to prepare your home state last.
