My employer messed up my w2 and paid all taxes to the state of PA in 2016. So when filing my 2016 taxes, I had to fix all that. I got a refund from PA. It was actually not a refund, it was a overpayment because I moved to Oklahoma mid year. So I had to file my taxes in a way that I used my PA refund to pay the taxes my employer did not pay to Oklahoma.
I want to make sure I don't have to pay taxes on my PA refund, since it was not a true refund. It was an overpayment that PA owed me. I then used that overpayment to pay taxes i owned to OK.
How to I report my PA tax refund in a way that shows it was not a true refund but money they had to give me back and money I then had to pay to another state? Trying not to pay extra taxes. Do I show I paid a loss to Oklahoma too? I need help.
