My employer accidentally paid taxes to OH and PA

[frank4271]

I never lived or worked in PA. How do I file to get the money refunded? I already downloaded and paid for PA State filing but it is not allowing me to file for a refund. The system thinks I "owe" PA tax. I have a correct W2 from my employer but Turbo Tax does not seem to be structured to help with this.

You will need to make the adjustment to your wages in the state interview section for Pennsylvania to reflect none of the wages were earned there.

1. Select State in the black panel on the left hand side of your screen when logged into TurboTax.
2. This will take you to a screen titled Let's get your state taxes done right.  Click continue on this screen.
3. You will see the following screen titled Status of your state returns.  Select Edit to the right of Pennsylvania to review your entries.

Proceed through the screens until you see the screen titled Compensation Summary. 

Select Edit to the right of the applicable wages to ensure the wages earned in PA is reflected as being zero. 

Once you select Edit, you will see a screen that says Verify This Income.  The box stating Make this income taxable in PA should not be checked.  If it is, uncheck it. 

This should remove the income for your PA nonresident return and allow you to get a refund of the income taxes erroneously withheld in PA.
