State tax filing

If you became a permanent resident of your new state in December, then you can fill out a part-year tax return for PA. TurboTax will then allow you to allocate all your sources of income between PA-sourced and non-PA sourced when you are preparing your PA state return. To do that:

  1. Select the My Info tab on the left menu underneath 2021 Taxes
  2. Click Edit next to your name
  3. Enter your new state as the resident state if you officially moved there in December 2021
  4. Select Yes to I lived in another state in 2021 and select Pennsylvania in the dropdown menu

If you do not need to file a state tax return for your new state because you are beneath the filing threshold for that state, then you can delete the state on the Status of your state returns screen by selecting the trashcan next to that state. 

 

If your move to the new state was never intended to be permanent and you maintained your Pennsylvania home, then you should just file a full-year Pennsylvania return. They would then have the right to tax all your income.
