Taxes paid twice to NY State and VA

[Ray2111]

My income for 2021 consisted of 6.5 months of wages from a company located in NY State. After that, I was unemployed. The whole year of 2021 I lived in Virginia telecommuting for 6.5 months.

From my wages, taxes were withheld by New York State. I also paid estimated taxes to the state of Virginia based on the same wages. From which state should I expect a refund, NY State  or VA?

You would get the credit on your resident state- Virginia.

To help prevent payment of taxes to multiple states on the same income, Virginia law provides a credit for taxes paid to another state. If any part of your Virginia taxable income is also taxed by another state, this credit may be available to you.
