What does this mean? Any Special W-2 Situations

In Turbotax’s PA state filing section:

“Any Special Pennsylvania W-2 Situations?” page

 

Two of the checklists states:

 "you earned income in another state" 

“your employer withheld income tax for another state"

 

If I worked remotely for PA employer as an out-of-state resident for a a fee months, and only moved to PA and became a PA resident in the middle of the year (same PA employer),

 

Do those two statements apply for me? In other words, is that question supposed to be:

1- Any Special Pennsylvania W-2 Situations in the whole year of 2023?

or 2- Any Special Pennsylvania W-2 Situations during you were a resident in PA?

It depends on the other state and whether there was state tax withheld. 

 

The easiest way to figure this out is to look at your W-2, box 15. Based on what you are saying, you have a line with PA in box 15. Do you also have a line with another state? 

 

If another state is listed, you would answer Yes to "you earned income in another state". If there's there's a number greater than zero in box 17 on that same line, you would answer Yes to “your employer withheld income tax for another state".
