I live in OH and work in WV so it recommended that I file special nonresident it-140; but I can't finalize b/c it says I'm not eligible. Which recommendation is correct?

[maglib · Accepted solution]

West Virginia holds reciprocal tax agreements with resident of Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Residents of these states who work in West Virginia don't have to pay income tax in their work state on their earnings.

So you would only file as a resident of OH and will not have to pay any WV state tax.

Were any taxes for WV withheld from your w-2?

No, nothing was withheld. So I would simply not file a WV?

[maglib]

exactly, only in the state you live in then.

Correct. In the personal info section, when it asks if you made money in another state, answer NO, per the reciprocal state instructions, on that page. This will prevent TurboTax from thinking you need to file an WV return.
