You must check one of the boxes if you are a Nonresident or Partyear resident. If you mark part year, you must provide the period of West Virginia residency and complete the appropriate columns. • If you receive an EK-1 you will claim the "income credit" on the new Recap Line (Elective Income Credit for tax paid by a Pass Through Entity) and provide the EK-1 to support the claim. • You are required to submit your original withholding documents, such as W-2’s, 1099’s, K-1’s, and NRW-2’s. Failure to submit this documentation will result in the disallowance of the withholding amount claimed. • Additional municipalities are now subject to the Municipal Use Tax. Visit www.tax.wv.gov for a complete list of West Virginia municipalities that impose a Use tax. • You can interact with us online at mytaxes.wvtax.gov. Services offered include bill pay and secure communication about your return. Before you call, please use our MyTaxes portal. Online filing options are available on our website. RETURNED PAYMENT CHARGE The Tax Division will recover a $15.00 fee associated with returned electronic bank transactions. These bank transactions include but are not limited to the following: • Direct Debit (payment) transactions returned for insufficient funds. • Stopped payments. • Bank refusal to authorize payment for any reason. • Direct Deposit of refunds to closed accounts. • Direct Deposit of refunds to accounts containing inaccurate or illegible account information. Paper Checks returned for insufficient funds will incur a $28.00 fee. IMPORTANT: THERE ARE STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO MINIMIZE THE LIKELIHOOD OF A REJECTED FINANCIAL TRANSACTION OCCURRING: • Be sure that you are using the most current bank routing and account information. • If you have your tax return professionally prepared, the financial information used from a prior year return often carries over to the current return. It is important to verify your bank routing and account information from a check with your tax preparer. This will ensure the information is accurate and current in the event that a bank account previously used was closed or changed either by you or the financial institution. • If you prepare your tax return at home using tax preparation software, the financial information used from a prior year return often carries over to the current return. It is important that you verify this information by reviewing the bank routing and account information from a current check. This will ensure the information is accurate and current. • If you prepare your tax return by hand using a paper return form, be sure that all numbers entered when requesting a direct deposit of refund are clear and legible. • If making a payment using MyTaxes, be sure that the bank routing and account numbers being used are current. • If scheduling a delayed debit payment for an electronic return filed prior to the due date, make sure that the bank routing and account numbers being used will be active on the scheduled date. • Be sure that funds are available in your bank account to cover the payment when checks or delayed debit payments are presented for payment. tax.wv.gov 2023 Personal Income Tax Information and Instructions — 15 TIPS ON FILING A PAPER RETURN The Tax Division processes E-filed returns more quickly than paper returns. However, if you file a paper return there are several things you can do to speed-up the processing of your return. Faster processing means faster refunds! • Make sure you have received all W-2s, 1099s, and other tax documents for the 2023 tax year. • Complete your federal income tax return first. • Do not use prior year forms. • SEND all W-2s, 1099s, K-1s or WV NRW-2s with the Tax return. • Paper returns are electronically scanned. The processing of the return (and any refund) is delayed when information on the return is not clear. • Use BLACK INK. Do not use pencils, colored ink, or markers. • Do not write in the margins unless specifically instructed to do so. • Always put entries on the lines, not to the side, above or below the line. • Do not submit photocopies to the Division. • Lines where no entry is required should be left blank. Do not fill in with zeros. • Do not use staples. • Make sure all required forms and schedules are included with the tax return. • Sign your return. • Write your name and address clearly using BLOCK CAPITAL LETTERS as in the following example: SMI TH MI LLER JR Last Name Suffix Spouse’s Last Name – Only if different from Last Name above l WAYLON W AMELI A H Your First Name Suffix Spouse’s First Name 234 N 5TH ST ANYWHERE • • • • • First Line of Address City MI Second Line of Address WV 55555 State Zip Code MI 6789 NEVER USE COMMAS when filling in dollar amounts.

You are required to file a West Virginia return even though you may not be required to file a federal return if: • Your West Virginia adjusted gross income is greater than your allowable deduction for personal exemptions ($2,000 per exemption, or $500 if you claim zero exemptions). Your income is to be determined as if you had been required to file a federal return. Your exemptions are to be determined following the rules on page 24. • You are claiming a SCTC or HEPTC credit • You are due a refund. You are not required to file a West Virginia return if you and your spouse are 65 or older and your total income is less than your exemption allowance plus the senior citizen modification. For example, $2,000 per exemption plus up to $8,000 of income received by each taxpayer who is 65 or older. However, if you are entitled to a refund you must file a return. RESIDENCY STATUS RESIDENT A resident is an individual who: • Spends more than 30 days in West Virginia with the intent of West Virginia becoming his/her permanent residence; or • Maintains a physical presence in West Virginia for more than 183 days of the taxable year, even though he/she may also be considered a resident of another state. PART-YEAR RESIDENT A part-year resident is an individual who changes his/her residence either: • From West Virginia to another state, or • From another state to West Virginia during the taxable year. FULL-YEAR NONRESIDENT A full-year nonresident is an individual who is: • A resident of West Virginia who spends less than 30 days of the taxable year in West Virginia, and maintains a permanent place of residence outside West Virginia; or • A resident of another state who does not maintain a physical presence within West Virginia and does not spend more than 183 days of the taxable year within West Virginia. SPECIAL NONRESIDENTS A Special Nonresident is an individual who is: • A resident of Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, or Virginia for the entire taxable year; and • Your only source of West Virginia income was from wages and salaries. • Mark the nonresident special box on the front of the return and complete Part II of Schedule A. Nonresidents who DO NOT have West Virginia source income or withholdings are not required to file a West Virginia return. IT-140 NRC-COMPOSITE RETURN Nonresident individuals who are partners in a partnership, shareholders in a S corporation or beneficiaries of an estate or trust that derives income from West Virginia sources may elect to be included on a nonresident composite return. If this election is made, the IT-140NRC is filed by the pass-through entity and eliminates the need for the individual to file a separate nonresident/ part-year resident return for income reported on the IT-140NRC. A $50 processing fee is required for each composite return filed. If a separate individual return is filed, the nonresident must include the West Virginia income derived from the pass-through entity filing the composite return. Credit may be claimed for the share of West Virginia income tax remitted with the composite return.The IT-140NRC is available on our website at tax.wv.gov. tax.wv.gov 2023 Personal Income Tax Information and Instructions — 17 AMENDED RETURN Use the version of Form IT-140 that corresponds to the tax year to be amended and check the “Amended Return” box. These forms and corresponding instructions are available on our website at tax.wv.gov. You must file a West Virginia amended return if any of the following conditions occur: • To correct a previously filed return; or • You filed an amended federal income tax return and that change affected your West Virginia tax liability; or • The Internal Revenue Service made any changes to your federal return (i.e., change in federal adjusted gross income, change in exemptions, etc.). If either you or the Internal Revenue Service make a change to your federal return which causes either and increase or decrease in your Federal Adjusted Gross Income, an amended West Virginia return must be filed within ninety (90) days after a final determination for such change is made. A copy of your amended federal income tax return must be enclosed with the West Virginia amended return. WV amended returns cannot be processed until the IRS has processed the amended federal return. Do not enclose a copy of your original return. If you are changing your filing status from married filing jointly to married filing separately or from married filing separately to married filing jointly, you must do so in compliance with federal guidelines. If your original return was filed jointly and you are amending to file separately, your spouse must also file an amended separate return. If the amended return is filed after the due date, interest and penalty for late payment will be charged on any additional tax due. An additional penalty will be assessed if you fail to report any change to your federal return within the prescribed time. An explanation must be provided as to why you are amending your return. Please complete page 47 and submit with the amended return. NONRESIDENT/PART-YEAR RESIDENT A part-year resident is subject to West Virginia tax on the following: • Taxable income received from ALL sources while a resident of West Virginia; • West Virginia source income earned during the period of nonresidence; and • Applicable special accruals. WEST VIRGINIA SOURCE INCOME The West Virginia source income of a nonresident is derived from the following sources included in your federal adjusted gross income: • Real or tangible personal property located in West Virginia; • Employee services performed in West Virginia; • A business, trade, profession, or occupation conducted in West Virginia; • An S corporation in which you are a shareholder; • Your distributive share of West Virginia partnership income or gain; • Your share of West Virginia estate or trust income or gain and royalty income; • West Virginia Unemployment Compensation benefits; • Prizes awarded by the West Virginia State Lottery. West Virginia source income of a nonresident does not include the following income even if it was included in your federal adjusted gross income: • Annuities and pensions; • Interest, dividends or gains from the sale or exchange of intangible personal property unless they are part of the income you received from conducting a business, trade, profession, or occupation in West Virginia; • Gambling winnings, other than prizes awarded by the West Virginia State Lottery as described above, unless you are engaged in the business of gambling (file a Schedule C related to gambling activity for federal income tax purposes) and you engage in that business, trade, profession, or occupation in West Virginia. NONRESIDENTS AND PART-YEAR RESIDENTS MUST FIRST COMPLETE LINES 1 THROUGH 7 OF FORM IT-140, THEN COMPLETE SCHEDULE A. Income earned outside of West Virginia may not be claimed on Schedule M as other deductions. Please use Schedule A. To compute tax due, use the calculation worksheet located on page 8. (Instructions for Schedule A can be found on pages 30 through 32.) INCOME. In Column A of Schedule A, you must enter the amounts from your federal return. Income received while you were a resident of West Virginia must be reported in Column B. Income received from West Virginia sources while a nonresident of West Virginia must be reported in Column C. ADJUSTMENTS. The amounts to be shown in each line of Column B and/or Column C of Schedule A are those items that were actually paid or incurred during your period of residency, or paid or incurred as a result of the West Virginia source income during the period of nonresidence. For example, if you made payments to an Individual Retirement Account during the entire taxable year, you may not claim any payments made while a nonresident unless the payments were made from West Virginia source income. However, you may claim the full amount of any payments made during your period of West Virginia residency. SPECIAL ACCRUALS. In the case of a taxpayer changing from a RESIDENT to a NONRESIDENT status, the return must include all items of income, gain, or loss accrued to the taxpayer up to the time of his change of residence. This includes any amounts not otherwise includible on the return because of an election to report income on an installment basis. The return must be filed on the accrual basis whether or not that is the taxpayer’s established method of reporting. For example, a taxpayer who moves from West Virginia and sells his West Virginia home or business on an installment plan must report all income from the sale in the year of the sale, even though federal tax is deferred until the income is actually received. 18 — 2023 West Virginia Personal Income Tax Information and Instructions tax.wv.gov FILING STATUS There are five (5) filing status categories for state income tax purposes. Your filing status will determine the rate used to calculate your tax. • Single • Head of Household • Married Filing Jointly. You must have filed a joint federal return to be eligible to file a joint state return. If you filed a joint federal return, you may elect to file your state return as either “Married Filing Jointly” using the state’s tax Rate Schedule I or as “Married Filing Separately” using Rate Schedule II. • Married Filing Separately. If you are married but filed separate federal returns, you MUST file separate state returns. If you file separate returns you must use the “Married Filing Separately” tax Rate Schedule II to determine your state tax. • Widow(er) with a dependent child. When joint federal but separate state returns are filed, each spouse must report his/her federal adjusted gross income separately as if the federal adjusted gross income of each had been determined on separately filed federal returns. If one spouse was a resident of West Virginia for the entire taxable year and the other spouse a nonresident for the entire taxable year and they filed a joint federal income tax return, they may choose to file jointly as residents of West Virginia. The total income earned by each spouse for the entire year, regardless of where earned, must be reported on the joint return as taxable to West Virginia. No credit will be allowed for income taxes paid to the other state. A joint return may not be filed if one spouse changes residence during the taxable year, while the other spouse-maintained status as a resident or nonresident during the entire taxable year. DECEASED TAXPAYER A return must be filed for a taxpayer who died during the taxable year. This will serve as notification to close the tax account for the deceased taxpayer. Check the box “DECEASED” and enter the date of death on the line provided. If a joint federal return was filed for the deceased and the surviving spouse, the West Virginia return may be filed jointly. The surviving spouse should write on the signature line for the deceased “filing as surviving spouse”. If a refund is expected, a completed Schedule F must be enclosed with the return so the refund can be issued to the surviving spouse or to the decedent’s estate. Schedule F may be found on page 41. EXEMPTIONS You can no longer claim personal exemptions on your federal income tax return. West Virginia has retained personal exemptions under the same rules applicable under federal law in prior years. The West Virginia personal exemption allowance is $2,000 per allowable exemption, or $500 if someone else can claim an exemption for you on their return. See the rules for personal exemptions on page 24. ITEMIZED DEDUCTIONS The State of West Virginia does not recognize most itemized deductions for personal income tax purposes. Consequently, the only itemized deductions allowed to be claimed from the federal income tax return are gambling losses. PROPERTY TAX CREDITS The Senior Citizen Tax Credit and Homestead Excess Property Tax Credit are available to low-income taxpayers. Some taxpayers may qualify for both. If you qualify for both credits, a state return must be filed to receive the credits, even if you have no federal requirement. SENIOR CITIZENS TAX CREDIT. Credit eligibility is restricted to taxpayers who participate in the Homestead Exemption program (administered by the county assessor’s office), who incur and pay property taxes and whose federal adjusted gross income is less than 150% of federal poverty guidelines. The maximum federal adjusted gross income level is $21,870 for a single person household plus an additional $7,710 for each additional person in the household (e.g., $29,580 for a two-person household). You will receive form WV SCTC-A by mail if you participate in the Homestead Exemption program. If you are only claiming the SCTC-A and are not required to file a tax return, you only need to submit the SCTC-A form. If you are claiming both the SCTC-A and the HEPTC-1 you need to file a state tax return to claim the credits. Additional information can be found on page 34 of this booklet and in Publication TSD-411 which can be found on our website at tax.wv.gov. HOMESTEAD EXCESS PROPERTY TAX CREDIT. The Homestead Excess Property Tax Credit provides a refundable credit of up to $1,000 for low-income property owners whose real property tax, less senior citizen tax credit, paid on your OWNER-OCCUPIED home exceeds 4% of your income (gross household income including social security benefits).

About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
