Hello, my permanent residency is in Ohio, but I lived in PA for a year and worked there. When I am filing my state taxes it states that if I was a resident of Ohio and worked in PA you may need to change the wages to zero to claim a refund. What do I need to do because currently it has my state ID on my w-2’s as Ohio.

If you live in Ohio and work in PA, you are not required to file a PA return. If PA tax was mistakenly withheld, you will want to file PA for a refund.

 

PA and OH have a reciprocal agreement where they do not tax each other's residents. Your PA income should be zero.

According to Illinois State Gov if you are filing a Illinois Non-resident return for your very first time, you need to mail your Ill non-resident return by mail instead of efile.  Please review this Illinois.gov link for further details.
