Moving and Tax Returns for 2 states

[Tvl2day4fun]

I sold my Florida home in July and moved to PA to take care of my 95 year old mother. I am living with her since I haven't found anything here yet. My question is--do I file a PA return along with the federal. I am on SS and have pensions but my income is about 26000. I have never had to file a state return.   If yes, which I assume the answer is, how will I complete my usual Turbo Tax since I also have been  doing my daughter's taxes, also, who lives in NYC. I always buy the disc and load it.

You may need to complete a Pennsylvania return, depending on if you are temporarily staying or if you have moved your domicile. I have a link at the bottom to the Pennsylvania Tax site that gives their definition of resident. If you have moved, you can file a part-year resident return. It says there " Every resident, part-year resident or nonresident individual must file a Pennsylvania Income Tax Return (PA-40) when he or she realizes income generating $1 or more in tax, even if no tax is due".  In most cases, Pennsylvania does not tax pension distributions but does require that you file to determine if it is exempt.

If you buy a disk with  TurboTax Desktop, you generally receive 1 free state (check the offer)  but you can also purchase additional states from inside the program. With the desktop version, you are allowed to prepare multiple returns, so you can still do your return and your daughter's return.
