NY tax credit

[Fred011]

I work in PA and live in NY, my employer takes out NY state taxes and also the tax for the local city I work in, in PA. Do I have to file PA nonresident form or just the Berkheimer Taxpayer annual local earned income tax return F-1 to get resident credit paid to the local government?

Since you worked in Pennsylvania, you would have to file the nonresident state return and also the local tax return.

[Fred011]

To be clear: I have to file PA even though I did not have any taxes withheld for PA?

Yes. You are still subject to the local earned income tax if your work municipality has such as tax. Your employer should be withholding EIT.

Pennsylvania says:

As an employer, you must complete the Residency Certification Form for each employee. For an employee who lives out-of-state, the “Resident PSD Code” will be 880000, and the “Total Resident EIT Rate” will be 0%. The out-of-state resident employee will still be subject to and owe the “Work Location Non-Resident EIT Rate,” as well as the Local Services Tax (LST), based on the PA worksite municipality. You are required to make remittances to the local tax collector(s) for the worksite location(s). Follow the steps outlined on the Local Income Tax Requirements for Employers page for more information.
