I owe PA $1. Why even file it?

What should I do?

[LindaBelmont · Accepted solution]

PA requires that you file the tax return.  However, you do NOT need to pay the $1.00

From the PA40 instructions

Add Lines 26 and 27. Or, if the total of Line 12 plus Lines 25 and 27
is more than Line 24, add Lines 12, 25 and 27 and subtract Line 24.
You must pay the total due, in full, on or before April 18, 2017. See
the instructions for payment options beginning on Page 22.
REMINDER: If you owe $1 or less, you do not have to submit a
payment with your return.

see page 21 of the instructions.
