State tax filing

In general, you pay tax to the state you live in and to the state(s) where you work.

 

So, if you lived in Pennsylvania for even 4 months, you owe tax (potentially) to that state.

 

You earned no income in PA - so, no W-2, not 1099-R while you were a resident? Did you receive any form on which there was withholding for the state of Pennsylvania?

 

Every resident, part-year resident or nonresident individual must file a Pennsylvania Income Tax Ret...).

If no, then you shouldn't have to file a PA state return.

 

However, I would think that TurboTax would tell you this. Is TurboTax making you file a state return, even after you enter your movements into your Personal Information?
