Reply to comment by Werewolfdad in Is this a mistake on my W2? by _kkkkkttttt_

my bad, I meant working for a VA a company the whole year. I didn’t realize I was being taxed differently for working at home vs in the office

Yup. That’s the way it’s supposed to be done.

If DC has higher income taxes than VA, it doesn’t actually matter except you have to fill out two state tax returns. You just end up paying whichever has the highest rate

Yes. You pay taxes to the state you perform work in. You're also protected by the states' employment laws in which you perform work. Stuff to keep in mind as someone going between jurisdictions!
