It depends. It sounds like there might be some confusion about how your taxes are being credited. Here’s how you can address this issue: Review Your Tax Return: Double-check your Virginia (VA) tax return to ensure that you didn’t accidentally report paying taxes to West Virginia (WV). Look for any entries related to credits for taxes paid to other states. Check Your W-2 or Income Details: Make sure your W-2 or other income documents show your work location (WV) and your home state (VA). Sometimes, errors in these documents can lead to incorrect tax credits. Check your W2 to see if there were entries recorded for WV in Boxes 15–17.
