[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 991218, member: 52972"] Dan, There is no legal requirement for anyone to file a State Income Tax Return if they are not or have not been a resident of that state. You are a non-resident only filing to get a refund of the taxes withheld by your employer. I was stationed in the Washington DC area several times while I was in the US Army and non-resident taxes was always a big topic then as it is now. Most people who worked in Washington DC, lived in either Maryland or Virginia. Washington DC had to deal with all the traffic, police and maintain the streets and parks, but could not collect taxes on all the people taking their big Government paychecks back home in MD and VA. They had even talked about putting up toll booths on all the major highways going in an out of Washington to generate some money. My point is that if one state only withheld $20, it would probably not be worth it to file a State Income Tax return in that state. However if some state withheld $200, then that would probably be worth going after a refund. Check with a tax accountant...I think you might be surprised to know that they don't charge all that much, and you might even get a quote for filing each States Income Tax returns and they could probably tell you which states would not be worth trying to get a refund. ....Rich [/QUOTE]
