I live and work in Philadelphia. This is my first time filing from Philadelphia. City taxes were withheld from my wages. How do I file my city taxes? Any specific websites I should go to?

TIA

If the Philadelphia wage tax was  deducted from your paychecks and you do not have self employment income, no tax return needs to be filed. From:  https://www.phila.gov/services/payments-assistance-taxes/income-taxes/earnings-tax-employees/

Can you be excused from paying the tax?

You don’t have to pay the Earnings Tax if you:

  • Have the City Wage Tax withheld from your paycheck.
  • Are an individual or part of a partnership that files and pays the Net Profits Tax.
