Living in Tennessee and Working in Virginia (Columbia: sale, income)

I live in Tennessee and work in Virginia. What form do I complete for exemption, and will I owe taxes in Virginia. My husband works in Tennessee.

Yes, I believe you will have to pay Virginia state income tax, because you work in that state, even though you live in Tennessee.

You need to read the instruction book for Nonresident Form 763.

Exceptions for Certain Nonresidents
If you are a nonresident of Virginia who commutes daily to work
in Virginia from Kentucky or the District of Columbia, you do
not have to file if:
• You have no actual place of abode in Virginia at any time during
the year;
• Salaries and wages are your only Virginia source income; and
• Your salaries and wages are subject to income taxation by
Kentucky or the District of Columbia.
If you are a nonresident of Virginia who is a resident of Maryland,
Pennsylvania or West Virginia and you earn salaries and wages
in Virginia, you are exempt from fi ling a Virginia income tax return
and paying Virginia income tax if:
• Your only income from sources in Virginia is from salaries and
wages; and
5
• Your salaries and wages are subject to income taxation by
Maryland, Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
If you are a domiciliary resident of Kentucky, Mary land,
Pennsylvania, West Virginia or the District of Co lumbia and have
income from Virginia sources other than wages and salaries, (such
as business income or gain from the sale of a residence), you must
fi le a Vir ginia Nonresident Individual Income Tax Return, Form
763, and pay tax on income not specifi cally exempted above.

Nonresidents File Form 763Generally, nonresidents with income from Virginia sources must file a Virginia return if their income is at or above the filing threshold. Nonresidents who earn salaries and wages in Virginia and pay tax on those salaries and wages to the District of Columbia, Kentucky,
Maryland, Pennsylvania or West Virginia are not required to file
if they meet the criteria described in the previous section under
“Exceptions for Certain Nonresidents.” Residents of states other
than those in “Exceptions for Certain Nonresidents” do not qualify
for a filing exception.
