To follow-up on the comments @JamesG1, PA only allows capital losses to offset capital gains.  If you have a capital loss, such loss will be included on your PA-40, Pennsylvania Income Tax Return on line 5; however, when calculating PA taxable income, the instructions indicate that only positive amounts on lines 1 - 8 are to be added.  Any losses on lines 4, 5, or 6 on PA-40 are not included in calculating PA taxable income.
