MD & VI income taxes?
So I moved to STX in August. I'm sure many of you have been through this. Do I file my income taxes in VI or MD, or both? Any help will be appreciated!!!

First, you must determine where your income came from----if you have any income, say on a W2 from employee, you will probably have to file in the state or territory this income was earned in-----either as a resident and or non-resident. Each state or territory has resident and non resident requirements---------------------go to websites for the state of territory you earned the income.
Second, the VI considers you a resident in MOST cases if you have been here over 180 days. Again, regardless if you were here as little as 30 days, if you have income coming from a VI employer, and receive a W2VI------yes, W2VI you probably will need to file either as a resident or non resident.
The BIR, is located behind KMART at Sunny Island. My experience with them , they are very helpful. Go there with the W2 and W2VI, and the BIR will assist you with your question------or even call them.
Based on the information, you haven't lived here 180 days and assuming you have earned income in both the VI or MD, you probably would be filing a MD federal and state for resident. VI as a non-resident----no territory return, just normal federal.
Hope this helps----dont take my advice as I am not registered in the VI, thou I am an accountant, CALL the MD and VI tax bureaus. Or make it simplier for you, go see a accountant on the VI and have them prepare your taxes.Or you make be qualify to have your return prepared for free by th VI BIR.
Good luck.
Thanks so much for the info !!!
