The state definition of resident for income tax is different than the IRS. You can file as a Part Year Resident of Pennsylvania for 2024 and will only have to include the compensation you earned in Pennsylvania. (You do not have to choose the full year or dual status like the IRS.)

See Who is a Part-Year Resident .

Thank you Mary.

i was really confused because my tax consultant said . I cannot claim state tax credit.

does this mean . Even if i have not switched any state. But I have lived for less than 183 days in a state (IN USA as well) . I am eligible to claim tax credit as a part year resident for PA.
