Sale of Washington DC rental and Foreign Service W-2, Virginia resident

[bjscheel]

I am in Iowa so this is out of my realm.  Couple of questions.  Client is a foreign service officer based in Africa.  Now doing 2023 return.  California has been her domicile, but in August 2023 she bought a home in Virginia.  

She sold a Washington, DC rental house that she has been depreciating.  She has never been a resident of DC, so Lacerte is not generating a normal return, just a D-40B (more on that later).  Does the sale need to be on a DC-30?  We do not prepare that form for her.

Her W-2 has never had a state listed before.  This year it has DC and a small amount of DC withholding.  I'm presuming because she was pulled out of Africa temporarily.  Lacerte generates the D-40B to get that withholding back since she is a nonresident.  She does not have to report that W-2 income on a Virginia return as a part year resident, does she?  There is no Virginia withholding at all, and I'm not sure she worked after moving to VA.

The rental activity and the sale of the rental get reported on D-30.

You'll need to ask her where she earned these "DC wages". If while living in VA then they are taxable to VA.
