Questions

West Virginia tax FAQs

10 answers about taxes in West Virginia.

Do you prepare West Virginia state tax returns?

Yes. We prepare resident, part-year and nonresident West Virginia returns and file them with the West Virginia Tax Division, together with your federal return.

When are West Virginia individual returns due?

Many states follow the federal April 15 deadline, but some set their own dates. We track the West Virginia Tax Division deadlines for you and file extensions when they are needed.

Does West Virginia have a sales tax?

Yes. West Virginia charges sales tax, and local rates can add to the state rate. We help West Virginia businesses register, collect the right rate and file returns with the West Virginia Tax Division.

What payroll registrations does a West Virginia employer need?

Employers generally register with West Virginia for unemployment insurance and state income tax withholding, plus any other state payroll programs that apply. We handle the registrations and the ongoing filings.

Do I need to make West Virginia estimated tax payments?

If you have income without enough withholding, such as self-employment or investment income, West Virginia generally expects estimated payments during the year, with its own thresholds and due dates. We calculate federal and state payments together.

How are LLCs and corporations taxed in West Virginia?

West Virginia applies its own rules to LLCs, S corporations and C corporations, and in some cases charges franchise, gross receipts or minimum taxes regardless of profit. We review how your entity is treated in West Virginia before you form it or make an election.

I moved into or out of West Virginia. What do I file?

Usually a part-year return for each state you lived in during the year, with credits so the same income is not taxed twice. Our multi-state filing service handles this.

Yes. In addition to IRS matters, we respond to notices and audits from the West Virginia Tax Division when you authorize us to.
