If the Philadelphia wage tax was deducted from your paychecks and you do not have self employment income, no tax return needs to be filed. From: https://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/income-taxes/earnings-tax-employees/
Can you be excused from paying the tax?
You don’t have to pay the Earnings Tax if you:
- Have the City Wage Tax withheld from your paycheck.
- Are an individual or part of a partnership that files and pays the Net Profits Tax.
