I live in WV, but I work in VA and all of 2016 my work to out VA tax instead of WV. Is there anything I need to do to fix this so I do not end up paying tax in both state

Yes, there is.  West Virginia and Virginia are reciprocal states.  This means that if you live in one state and work in another, you only pay tax where you live.  Since VA tax was taken out of your check, you want to say in the Personal Info tab that you did also work in VA, and then fill out VA as a nonresident reciprocal state.  You get all your VA taxes back. West Virginia does tax all of your income, though.

Also, see this FAQ that shows more information and what form to fill out if the wrong tax is being taken out of your check:  https://ttlc.intuit.com/replies/4776822
