Question

W-2 income doesn't flow to the PA Gross Compensation Worksheet

Both my spouse and I had W2 income, although hers was only a few hundred dollars. Both of us earned all of the income in another state (CA). But only my income flowed into the PA Gross Income Worksheet, even though we are both full-year residents (and both indicated that in our Personal Worksheets).

Why doesn't my spouse's income appear in the PA return?

Perhaps since it was only a few hundred dollars, there was no state withholding or state information whatsoever in boxes 15-17. Your wages appeared because there was a withholding amount which generated the tax credit and thus flowed to the PA return. That could be a reason.

You can manually enter it in the adjustments section of the PA input.

Thanks for replying, that was the problem. I forgot to enter CA state income in boxes 15-17, which then flows properly to the PA forms.
