1. Correct. PA is taxing the full year of income since it was earned there. MI is taxing the first two months since you lived there. PA should give you a credit against the double taxed income. You get credit for the lower state tax on the lowest taxable amount.
- Each state calculates taxable income differently.
- Each state has its own tax rate/ system.
- You get the lowest of both categories as a tax credit.
2. No, you don't need to mail anything at this time.
3. If PA does request additional information regarding your return, a photocopy is always the best idea since all paperwork can be lost.
