I live in VT (for over a decade) and I have a w-2 where taxes were withheld for PA. The w-2 is from a walmart pennsylvania class action lawsuit payout. This is for not much money, $45 in income and and less than $2 PA taxes. TurboTax is telling me I need to file a PA non-resident return. The information it has gathered from my federal return and populated in both state returns looks incorrect. Specifically providing PA with VT and investment income. As far as I know PA only needs the info from this w-2 and none of my other income. Isn't it as simple as taxes were paid to PA on one W-2 and those taxes should be sent to VT? At this point it feels as if it would have been easier to never cash the check.
