    MOST states require you file jointly if you filed that way on the federal return. However, Virginia allows filing of just one spouse if the other was never a resident of Virginia.

    Not sure how West Virginia handles it, but they should NOT tax your husband on his Virginia-based income.

    If you need professional tax help with this, email me at [email protected].
