State tax filing

'employment income'".

That's not true for the state. Some PA cities (inluding Pittsburgh) have a  local earned income tax  and/or “Local Services” tax, on wages (sometimes called occupational tax or per capita tax), that may be what you heard of.  You do not need to file a Pittsburgh city return, unless you work.
