State tax filing

No. You have to enter the credit manually for Philadelphia Wage Tax paid because Philadelphia is a city so its not automatically calculated by TurboTax.

 

To receive credit for Philly wage tax:

  • Click State in the left column
  • Click Continue on Let's get your state taxes done right
  • Click Continue next to New Jersey
  • Keep going until you reach Credit for Taxes Paid to Another State. Click Work on Credit
  • Select Pennsylvania as State or Jurisdiction. TurboTax says For Philadelphia (or another Pennsylvania taxing authority), select "Pennsylvania". Continue
  • Enter Philadelphia for Name of City, Town, Jurisdiction or Municipality. Continue
  • Enter your Double-taxed income and Tax paid to Philadelphia. Philadelphia wages (W-2 Box 18) may be higher than your NJ wages because Philadelphia taxes 401(k) contributions so you may have to adjust the double-tax income and tax paid to Philadelphia amounts.
