State tax filing

First of all, I must be the bearer of bad news.  Turbo Tax does not support filing Philadelphia City Taxes and you will need to file a Philadelphia City Tax return to get some of that money you paid for taxes. Here is a city of Philadelphia website to file a free tax return for the city of Philadelphia.

 

What you will need to do in Turbo Tax is file a PA non-resident return and file a resident NJ return in that order. When you file your PA return first, the taxes you paid to PA will credit to your NJ return. 

 

Philadelphia local wage tax is separate from your PA state return and there is no available deduction for these taxes on your state return. However, this amount would be a deduction from your federal return as a local income tax paid on Schedule A if you are itemizing your deductions.
