State tax filing

The Philadelphia wage tax is separate from Pennsylvania income tax. It does not affect your state tax return.

 

The Philadelphia wage tax is a flat tax. City residents don’t have to file a return unless they worked outside Philadelphia city limits on some days and their employer withheld tax on those dates. If that’s the case, you can file a wage refund petition.
