Hi Bill,
Philadelphia charges a wage tax if you work in Philly, but live outside of Philly. (also if you live in Philly and it doesn't matter where you work, but that doesn't apply to me)
This appears on my W2 in Box 18,19,20 as a locality tax. In this case let's assume $2,000.00 was paid to the City of Philadelphia in 2019 from my employer for this tax.
Philadelphia allows you to request a reimbursement, verified through your employer for time worked outside the city, and will reimburse an amount based on a worksheet they provide. In this case let's say this amount was for $900 they approved and sent back to me.
I took the standard deduction, but wasn't sure if this added information changes anything.
Thank you in advance for your help.
