Over the road truck driver - which states to file taxes.

I'm an over the road truck driver. I live in NY but the terminal that hired me is located in Pennsylvania. I don't start and end my day in the Pennsylvania terminal. I start and end my work day in a truck which can be located in any state.  Do I have to file taxes in PA or just in my residence state of NY? They did not deduct Pa taxes from me during the year, only NY.
Thank you

Are you self-employed?  Or is your income reported on a W-2 from your employer?

 

If your income is reported on a W-2, is only NY tax withheld in boxes 15 through 17 of the W-2?

 

I suspect that you only have NY withheld on a W-2 and only a NY tax return would be filed.

My income is reported on a W2.

 

On my W2 only NY tax withheld is shown on line 15-17.

Since you are a New York resident, that is what should be reflected on your W-2.
