State tax filing

States will only give up credit up to the amount of tax you would have paid if the income was earned in the state. You often end up owing Pennsylvania if you work in Delaware or New York or even New Jersey.

 

If states give you credit for more than you state tax rate, the excess would reduce tax on the rest of your in-state income which would not be correct.
