No reciprocal agreement for nonresidents selling WV property. Taxpayer will need to file a WV nonresident return that will include the cap gain on the sale of the property and will calculate the total WV tax. Then the tax withheld on the sale will be applied against that. Here is the WV code sec: https://code.wvlegislature.gov/11-11-5/ Seller or settlement agent should have filled out WV form NRSR at the time of sale which calculates the tax to be withheld from sale proceeds. This form must be attached to the WV nonres income tax form. You should check the WV IT-140 instructions as to whether paper filing is necessary, but it may be possible to attach the form as a pdf attachment. https://tax.wv.gov/Documents/Withholding/nrsr.pdf The withholding at sale is claimed on the WV nonresident income tax form. It should be entered on WV IT-140, line 15. Your client will receive credit for that withholding against their total tax, and they may owe some if the withholding wasn't enough to cover what they owe, or they will get a refund if the withholding exceeds their WV total tax before payments and credits. You should read the instructions to line 15 to make sure the appropriate federal forms go with the WV filing. This link contains the IT-140 and its instructions. https://tax.wv.gov/Documents/PIT/2024/it140.2024.pdf

And no, I didn't mean to say "WASP"... But all of you know what I'm talking about anyway. The increasing talents of the identity theft pirates mean that we must jump through more hoops every year to protect ourselves (and clients) from identity theft. This year we were supposed to have a "WiSP" Written Information Security Plan. I drafted a WISP from my seminar materials. I counted on Drake to provide the machinery necessary to bring about my WISP. When I contacted them, they showed me one of those weird rectangles with all those tiny dots. My daughter calls it a "QR" or something like that. I objected to Drake, as I don't want to deal with something that I don't what is doing, and apparently this thing is supposed to suck personal data from my cell phone, which has absolutely no tax information stored in it anywhere. I asked Drake for an alternate method and they said absolutely not. And of course, they are billing for renewal with an 8% increase. And no effective response for my WISP. I feel out of touch with this whole scenario, and I'm sure there are those among you who will chime in and agree. Why can't we concentrate on becoming better tax preparers and not have to become I.T. people? For what it's worth, I also subscribe to the Elon Musk belief that we are in danger of A.I. running our entire economy and taking personal decisions from us. This post may invoke all manner of comments. I didn't engineer it that way, at least not on purpose.

I wrote my own WISP; printed it and sealed it in plastic. If it's not good enough for them, so be it. I can step aside any time they want me to. And, of course, there is that unforgiving increase in the price of the program. ATX, as well and an email every other day reminding me that I should renew before the end of May. I have not even decided yet what I am going to do about next year. Pretty soon the phone calls will start.

You'll want to wait for someone who works with MD/WV, but I do know that most reciprocity agreements are for wages only. So, do some research on the WV website while you wait. Good luck.

Best I can figure, he may be referring to the one-time setup of the MFA.

While I use Drake (and have a WISP), I don't have anything set up that requires a QR code. I don't even recall seeing or hearing anything about such a thing on Drake. Maybe I've just had my head in the sand...

Judy, I printed this in the hopes that it would help me as I, also, have a December wedding that is overtaxing my clients. I have been struggling with this for weeks. I hope I see the light soon. Thanks a ton for all of your help.

My bank has that option for certain accounts, but the account holder must set up that feature, kind of like setting up the online bill pay or online banking for statements. The account I have doesn't have that feature available, and I don't have a savings account there anyway because their products aren't worth investing in.

@Pacun and everyone, I fixed the link so that it now goes to the official IRS page for direct pay.

I received the Approval on the e-filing this morning with these results. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU for your help! The $179 from both of your calculations is what helped lead me to it. SO GRATEFUL FOR YOU ALL!
