Q. If I have 1099-NEC income from PA,, do I owe taxes to both state? How will that work?
A. You will pay tax to PA. Technically, you will also report the income on your WV tax return, and calculate WV tax on that income. . But WV will give you a credit, or partial credit for any tax you pay to PA.
Q. I understand that there is a reciprocity between the two states, but per the official PA tax information website, this apparently does not apply to non-employee compensation.
A. That is correct.
Q. And if I need to make estimated payments, who will I be paying that to?
A. Only PA, since the WV credit will result in little or no WV tax on the 1099-NEC income.
