State tax filing

Yes. You would file a non-resident West Virginia State Income tax return to report Royalty Income. 

The income is also reported on your resident PA return though you may qualify for a resident credit for tax paid to other states on income earned outside of Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania residents are subject to Pennsylvania personal income tax on all Pennsylvania taxable income classes, both Pennsylvania and non-Pennsylvania source income. PA.gov

 

To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first.
