State tax filing

Since we cannot see your return, it's hard to answer your specific question.  We only know you paid $2 when you filed.  But we don't know what your full tax liability was on your PA tax return.

 

PA only states that you need to make estimated tax payments if your taxable income is $8,000.  

 

PA determines the safe harbor rule based upon a full year return being filed in the prior year.  As you had moved to PA last year, it will depend upon when you moved there and if you filed a full year return or a part-year resident state return to determine if the safe harbor rule would apply.

 

If you only had a tax liability of $2 last year, I would recommend estimating what your income is for the new year as it sounds like it will be higher than what you had in the prior year in order to avoid any potential underpayment penalties.
