How to deal with form W-2s from different states?

workhard2022 · ‎02-09-2025

Hello,

In 2024, I received two W-2 forms:

W-2 #1 from a Virginia employer (Box 15 shows VA as the state).
W-2 #2 from a Washington state employer (Box 15 is empty). I worked as a summer intern in Washington for 2 months, which is why I received this W-2.

For the remaining 10 months of the year (January-April and July-December), I lived and worked in Virginia. I plan to file my state taxes as a Virginia resident and as a non-resident in Washington (since Washington doesn't have an income tax).

My question is: Do I need to include the income from W-2 #2 (Washington employer) on my Virginia tax return and pay Virginia state taxes on it?

Thank you!

Were you a resident of Washington?

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

"I" or your taxpayer client for whom you are preparing their tax forms? Which program are you using? You posted in "practice advice".

You seem to be lost on the internet.

I lived in Washington State for 2 months temporarily. I think I am still counted as a Virginia resident for tax purposes. Thanks!

As a VA resident you have to pay VA tax on all of your income.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
