State tax filing

First, since you know how much the Ohio (OH) tax is on the OH return, you should check closely to see if there is actually tax liability after any possible credits or deductions.  The credit for tax paid to another state on the same income will be the lesser of:

  1. the tax liability actually charged by the nonresident state, OR
  2. the tax liability that would have been charged by your resident state

If the actual OH tax liability is less than what Pennsylvania (PA) tax would be then the credit will be lower.
