State tax filing

You must file a return in Pennsylvania as a nonresident. 

 

Pennsylvania(PA) taxes you for income generated from PA sources for anything over $33. 

 

PA filing requirement

 

You will make your entries in the My Info section of TurboTax. 

Confirm that you have entered the correct state information: 

  1. Click "Edit" to the right of your name 
  2. Confirm your input under #2 "Tell us the state(s) you lived in" 
  3. Do the same for your spouse if you are married filing jointly. 
  4. Go back to the personal information section, and verify the mailing address and "Other state income" section. You would enter Pennsylvania in this section. 

When you complete your federal return, you will continue to the state questions. 

 

Prepare the Nonresident Pennsylvania state tax return first.  Be sure to answer the questions carefully as you only want to report the income that is sourced to PA sources.

 

Once you have entered all of the Pennsylvania information, then start your New Jersey return.  This will ensure you receive any credits for taxes on income which may have been taxed in both states.
