Va.State taxes

I filed exempt when I filed out my w-2 at work, so why do I owe taxes now to state of va?

Unfortunately, you do not decide whether you are required to pay taxes or not.  The federal and state governing bodies decide who pay taxes.  If you either lived in the State of Virginia or worked in the State of Virginia, you would need to pay taxes to the State of Virginia.  Here is a link for the State of Virginia Department of Revenue Filing Information.

I’m not saying I’m not gonna pay I’m saying I want my boss to take taxes out on me as he does everyone else

@Sandie123 Have you had that conversation with the employer?  Why isn't the employer withholding state tax from your checks?    Have you filled out a W-4 that shows that you want tax withheld?  In an earlier post you stated that you claimed to be "exempt" which was your mistake.
