State filing (PA) for relocated biz in another state (FL)

At end of 2024 I closed my single-member LLC biz in PA which has state tax.  I established a single-member LLC biz in FL under the same in early 2024 as it was easier to close the PA biz than to transfer it to FL (and took a process and months to close the PA biz).  My FL residence was established in late 2023.

 

Anyway, I still had some biz in PA w/ the airport, a tax-exempt entity (they have papers for that), of approx 15K value from 2024.  I suspect I will need to file PA state taxes for the 15K and all income for 2024 under my Federal 1040 and Sched-C filing.  Or is it that my residence in FL circumvents any need for PA state filing, or do I have to file all 2024 income on a PA state return? Please advise...

 

If it matters, I'm using TurboTax H&B 2024 downloaded & installed to my Windows PC.

Yes, you will need to file a Pennsylvania nonresident tax return and report all income sourced in Pennsylvania for the year. Any income sourced outside the state would not be included, as long as you became a resident of Florida by 12/31/2023. Florida has no state income tax.

So I went on to continue the filing process of the PA-40 in TurboTax H&B to include the PA Schedule-NRH per having PA related income from the biz.  Problem is that TurboTax does NOT place the Schedule-NRH Part-II Line-7 amount to the PA-40 Line-4 as stated in the PA-40-NRH instruction (as "Enter the amount on Line 4 of PA-40.")  It instead adds it to the Line-4 values under Schedule-NRH and INCLUDES the biz Schedule-C profit/loss amount leaving a taxed net income greater than the actual net income of of all biz for the year.  I suppose I can just override and simply file with the Schedule-C amount removed on the PA-40 (resulting in the NRH amount on Line-4).  Please advise as this is quite confusing and likely a bug in TurboTax H&B that could have severe negative affect to many others if so.
