Pennsylvania file doesn't properly import W-2 data

[Pocono78]

The PA gross compensation worksheet only lists one of my W-2 employers. Please advise.

Can you enter the second W2 manually? Do both W2s show PA in box 15?

Unfortunately, my other W-2 is from the State of Maryland--they don't withhold PA income tax so the state tax section is left blank. If I mark it as PA but leave the other boxes blank, it doesn't work.

If you are a Pennsylvania (PA) resident, then you must add a state line in the W-2 to include PA to that W-2. You can use the federal ID if you don't have a PA ID, just enter the numbers without any dash. Include the wages for your MD employer.

Maryland (MD) and PA have a reciprocal agreement so there is no reason to add any MD wages on the W2, if there is no MD withholding.

Enter the state wages for PA, and if there is any 401(k) amounts, be sure to add them back to the state wages (should be higher than the federal wages in box 1, if applicable). PA does not allow tax free income placed in a retirement account like the IRS.
