I live in PA and work in DE. When I added the information from my W2 into the federal tax I had two entries on my W2 to show the PA and DE tax that was taken out. This was on the same income. When TT transferred the information to my state taxes, it add the income from both entries (even though it the same income) and is showing a tax liability in PA for twice as much income. How do I add the W2's on my FED return with both states income and tax paid and not have it show up on my state return as twice as much income?
To avoid being double-taxed in your home state of PA, edit your PA return:
Select Edit on Compensation Summary next to the DE income from your W-2.
Select Entire amount of this income is not taxable in PA.
The next screen, Adjust this amount should now have the PA taxable amount correct from your employer.
Several screens later, you should come to Taxes paid to other state(s) summary. This will provide a credit on your PA return for the taxes you paid to DE on your income.
