I lived in MI, and worked remotely for an employer in PA.
I received two W2s:
-1st W2 (PAGE 1/2):
-> Copy C Employee Reference & Federal Filing copy: TOTAL STATE / Box 16:Empty / Box 17-20: Filled
-> Copy 2 MI State Reference & State Filing copy: Box 15: MI / Box 16-17: Filled / Box 18-20: Empty
-2nd W2 (PAGE 2/2):
-> Copy 2 PA State Reference & Filing copy: Box 15: PA / Box 18-20: Empty
-> Copy 2 City of Local Reference Copy: Box 15: PA / Box 16-20: Filled
1-Some boxes are filled on one W2 but some are not so I'm confused.. What copy/copies of each of these W2 do I use to use to file my taxes?
2-Why is there a copy for City or Local Filing for PA? I thought PA employers don’t withhold PA tax for employees working from home outside the state (non-resident), but on my copy, I can see PA state and local income taxes are withheld. If this is incorrect, do I need to request for an amended W2?
