State tax filing

Your municipality has the right to tax the earned income of its residents regardless of where earned.

Any unused "credit for taxes paid to another state" can be used as a credit on your Berkheimer local earned income tax return.

Say you paid $100 to DE.  Your PA Schedule GL  allows you a credit of $80 on your PA tax return.  The remaining $20 difference can be used as a credit on your Berkheimer return.  This credit can not be used to obtain a refund of local taxes.

See line 12 of the Berkheimer form   https://www.hab-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/FinalWEBDCEDFPM.pdf

and line 12 instructions.
