If the property you sold was not your primary residence, you will owe tax to WV on any capital gain from the sale.  A capital gain will also be taxable by your home state of Ohio, but OH will give you credit for the tax you pay to WV.  The credit will preclude double taxation, which is prohibited by federal law.  But as @Anonymous_ said, you will have to file a non-resident WV tax return at year's end in order to report the WV capital gain and withholdings.
