Was your pension reported on a W-2 form, or a 1099-R? Are you age 60 or more? Be sure you entered both it and your SSA-1099 form in the correct location of the program.

Your retirement is NOT taxable for PA income tax if you retired AFTER meeting the eligibility requirements for separation from service by retirement based on old age, infirmity, long-continued service, or a combination of old age and infirmity and long continued years of service. Also see:

How do I know if the amount on my 1099R (1099-R) is taxable on my PA Personal Income Tax Return? (custhelp.com)

Unless you are filing a PA return to recoup state taxes withheld (or for some other reason), you can probably skip the state return altogether. If taxes were withheld, could the $1208 actually be a refund, rather than taxes due?
