As mentioned in an earlier post, first make sure that your PA state income tax return has been filed and accepted by PA.
Then check line 30 of your PA Form 40. If a refund was due, it would be listed on line 30.
PA has a flat rate tax and a minority of folks receive PA refunds. Under PA law, all employees have exactly the correct amount of PA income taxes withheld. So if your only income is from W2 wages, it is common that the exact amount of taxes due had been withheld already. PA generally only allows deductions for:
1. 529 Plan contributions.
2. Unreimbursed business expenses.
3. For low income taxpayers, you may receive a credit for PA Tax Forgiveness if qualify.
The PA website states to allow 8-10 weeks for refunds to be processed.
