This publication provides general information and is not meant to be a substitute for tax laws or regulations. 

General                   Fill out your Federal (IRS) tax return first because your West Virginia taxable income is based on 
                          information from your federal return. 
Filing 
Tips                      Include supporting documents as required, such as W 2s,- 1099s, schedules, etc. If you do not 
                          include the proper supporting documents, it may result in a bill for tax due. 

                          Make sure the social security number (SSN) and address on your return are correct. 

                          Check your return for math errors. To avoid math errors, visit tax.wv.gov and use our fill-in forms; 
                          these forms automatically calculate the return for you. 

                          Married taxpayers who file separate returns must use Rate Schedule II to compute the tax. Do not 
                          use the tax tables.
