Virginia has reciprocity agreements with Kentucky, Maryland, the District of Columbia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania. If you are a resident of one of these states, and meet certain conditions, you may not need to file a Virginia income tax return. See Reciprocity for more information.
Typically when a taxpayer lives in one state and is employed in another, and both states levy an individual income tax, they will file two tax returns: A resident return to the state where they live; A nonresident return to the state where they work.
Nonresidents of Virginia must file a Form 763. (A person is considered a nonresident of Virginia if they lived in Virginia for less than 183 days in a calendar year). An instruction booklet with return mailing address is also available on the website. Part-Year Residents of Virginia file a Form 760PY.
Nonresident (Form 763) and Part-Year (Form 760PY) returns must include a complete copy of the Federal Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ, as well as all other required Virginia attachments.
Yes. Any pension income you receive while you are a Virginia resident is taxable by Virginia, even though it may have been received from another state.
If you are a resident of a reciprocity state, accept employment in Virginia, and meet the criteria for exemption, complete Form VA-4 to certify your exemption and give the form to your employer. You will need to re-certify your exemption every year.
