W2 State

I live in Virginia but work in Maryland.  My employer is not able to withhold Virginia taxes.  There is reciprocity between Virginia and Maryland so I have to obligation to pay Maryland tax.  We agreed that they would not withhold Maryland taxes so I wouldn't have to file in Maryland to recoup, but my W2 still has Maryland listed as the state with no tax withheld.  Do I need to do anything in terms of reporting my income to Virginia or will TurboTax automatically detect it?  What do I put into TurboTax as the state when entering this W2?

W2 State

If there are no amounts in Boxes 15-20, you can leave this blank when entering your W-2 in TurboTax.  You can leave off the two-letter State Abbreviation in Box 15 also.

 

Since your address in the Personal Info section is Virginia, you will be prompted to prepare a Virginia return, and your income from the W-2 will flow automatically into the state return.
