I've deducted charitable donations on my Federal return. Can I deduct those charitable donations in PA state return too?

No, the Pennsylvania return does not have a section for charitable donations.

Deductions:

  • Taxpayers may reduce taxable compensation for allowable unreimbursed expenses that are ordinary, actual, reasonable, necessary and directly related to the taxpayer’s occupation or employment.
  • PA law allows three deductions against income: deductions for medical savings account contributions, health savings account contributions and IRC Section 529 tuition account program contributions.
