    West virginia slot winnings?

    TP a resident of VA went to WV to play the casino's. Hit one for 6k. West VA withheld no state tax per the W-2G. I figure TP owes WV tax on this money as a nonresident. Am I correct?

    That's interesting. State law requires withholding for amounts over $5K. 25% for federal and 6.5% for WV. Regardless, you must file a NR West Va return to report the income. You may or may not get an offsetting credit in the residence state.
