West Virginia
Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in West Virginia, file a nonresident West Virginia return (tax rate: 2.22%-4.82%). Then file your Georgia return and claim the Form 500 Schedule 1 credit so you don't get taxed twice on the same income.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding and unemployment. Unemployment applies to the first $9,000 of wages.
City & Local Income Taxes (Extra Filings Beyond the State Return)
Several cities charge flat weekly fees (not percentages). Charleston $3 per week ($156 per year), Parkersburg $2.50 per week ($130 per year), Wheeling $2 per week ($104 per year). Also Fairmont, Morgantown, and Weirton.
