Yes. You are double dipping if you claim a credit for taxes that will be refunded to you on a Non-Resident Covid – Ez Refund Petition.
You can only claim a credit on your New Jersey return for taxes you pay. Any refunded tax does not count as “paid” (it was withheld, but refunded).
You can claim a credit on your NJ return for the three months your worked in the city and paid wage tax. Adjust your earning and amount of tax paid in the other state tax screen in the New Jersey section.
File a Non-Resident Covid – Ez Refund Petition with the Philadelphia Department of Revenue. Remember, you will not receive a refund unless your employee signs the form. Philadelphia says, “A petition for refund of ‘erroneously withheld wage tax from an employee must be made by the employer for and on behalf of the employee.’”
Refer to instructions on the form.
