    Am I a full-time resident of West Virginia or part-time?
    I lived in WV until October 9th. It was then that I sold my home and moved to PA. I worked in WV until August 24th and started a job in PA on August 26th. Between August 26th and October 9th I was commuting from WV to PA and had WV taxes taken out of my paycheck in PA. On October 9th I changed my residency with my employer's payroll department and had only PA taxes coming out of my paycheck for the remainder of the year. WV state income instructions say a person is a full time resident if person "maintains a physical presence in WV for more than 183 of the taxable year, even though he/she may also be considered a resident of another state" but then also that a person is a part-time resident if "changes hes/her residence from WV to another state during taxable year". I'm confused, please help and say how certain you are in your answer :). Thanks!!

    To be safe, report your worldwide on the WV tax return, and also claim credit for taxes paid to PA.
    Income earned while in PA must be reported to PA. Your U.S. Tax Return: Working or Living in Two or More states
