NY resident work remote for PA employer - State Tax?

Hi all

 

I am a resident of NY state and I was recently hired by a company based in PA. So to be clear, I did NOT move from PA to NY.

 

In my first paycheck, I saw that they retained both NY and PA state taxes, and I'm trying to figure out what I can do about the double taxation since it is a hit on my pay.

The PA revenue official site (https://www.revenue.pa.gov/COVID19/Telework/Pages/default.aspx) states:
A non-resident employee who is required to telework full-time from home in another state should treat his compensation as non-Pennsylvania source income even if his employer is located in Pennsylvania. In those situations, the employer is not required to withhold on the employee’s compensation.

 

Now, it seems to be that I should be able not to pay PA state taxes, or at least I should be able to get them refunded?

What do the experts here think?

Thank you
