Virginia-
My wife moved from Maryland to Virginia about this time last year. As soon as she learned of the move she contacted her employer's payroll so they could apdate the information. The first pay check of 2010 the had partially updated the address (no apartment number) , but had left taxes paid in Maryland. my wife contacted payroll about the errors and waited a month, she gets paid monthly, for the next paycheck. same error. finally by the 3rd or 4th pay check they had correct the address, but still had taxes being paid in Maryland. By the 4th or 5th they had stopped paying Maryland taxes but were paying DC taxes. It was not until the 5th or 6t pay check they finally were paying taxes to Virginia. My widfe contacted payroll after recieving each paycheck and for the last one or two she mentioned to her employer that she is inclined to come back to them for any fees associated with filing taxes this year, her employer in no way acknowledged this. As we move into the tax season I know we are going to have to file in all three states, something we wanted to avoid by moving her at the end of the year. but I am concerned we are going to get hit with penalties for underpaying in Virginia. My question is what legal recourse do we have with the mployer with they do not want to assume any responsibility for taxes being paid to the wrong state?
