What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? WV
The company I worked for incorrectly withheld VA withholdings, after notifying them that they were withholding the wrong state, they told me "WV is not set up in our system" they'd see what they could do. Then NEVER corrected it. After providing them information from VA stating that they have an agreement with PA, MD, DC, KY & WV that I was exempt from withholding and wanted state taxes stopped, so I could pay my taxes to WV, they claimed they couldn't do that, that they would withhold WV taxes, since I worked in WV as well. They then sent me a fraudulent corrected W2 that shows WV with no employer account number. According to VA they are still holding the taxes that were paid to them for 2014.
I am working with VA to try to get the 2014 taxes returned to me, so that I can pay my WV taxes. However, I still have an issue for 2015 and am not sure how a company can get away with sending, essentially, a fraudulent corrected W2 and not withholding taxes for a state where I work and reside. How is this now my problem and how can there be no recourse to this company? I have spent HOURS upon HOURS dealing with this, between fighting with the company and also working with the 2 states to try to figure out how to correct this for me, as WV sees it that I owe them a few thousand dollars.
The company is headquarter in AZ, the local office is in VA, but I worked from home in WV, never had an office or even phone extension at that VA office.
