Reply to comment by jimmyvluv4u in Is this a mistake on my W2? by _kkkkkttttt_

That being said, I have no idea why your employer is withholding both DC and VA for you. Given that, you will have to file in both and claim your DC tax paid in VA to get your money back. I would get that fixed ASAP for future years.

yeah it’s kinda weird bc in 2021 I noticed they had me paying VA income taxes even though I lived in DC, it was a mistake that I flagged and got it fixed. Now all my paystubs for this entire year say I paid DC taxes, so I have no clue where the VA withholding came from. Maybe they never corrected the issue on their end last year? not even sure if that makes sense lol I really don’t know a lot about taxes

so, is my W2 saying I made $92k (70k in DC and 22k in VA)? because I know I for sure did not make that much via my paystubs

Yeah, sorry I don't know. You'll have to ask your employer what happened there. I've never had any of my various VA employers withhold anything other than VA for me, regardless of where I physically worked.
