State tax filing

Yes. Remove your New York earnings from your Pennsylvania return if both lines are coming from the same W-2, i.e. the same job reported a NY and PA wage amount because PA taxes some benefits that NY does not, such as 401(k) contributions.

 

You probably would have a refund if you have NY and PA withholding from the same job.

 

New York's tax rate is usually higher so the other state tax credit will cover 100% of your PA tax liability. If your withheld PA tax on the same income, that's what you are getting back.
