Question

I have a vacation rental property in NJ but am a PA resident. TurboTax is not giving me a credit in PA tax for the tax paid to NJ. How can I get a PA Sch G-L?

You should see a screen that says Credit for Tax paid to Another State in your Pennsylvania portion of your TurboTax program, you need to work through that section:

 

You will see it in the Taxes and Credits section of your PA return when you review it:

Thanks.  Unfortunately, I am using TurboTax online version.  When I do the entries in there, it tells me that my credit is zero.  I have looked at a draft of my tax return, and it is clear that TurboTax is not processing it correctly.  I am wondering if there is something else that I need to be doing.

@cebs215  There might be something else you need to do.  In the PA return, there is a section where you have to make that income taxable in PA.  Once you click on that box, the tax credit should calculate.

 

Remember, too that you can only get a credit if you actually pay tax to the other state.  If you have no NJ tax to pay, then there won't be any credit either.  We can't see your screen to know exactly what you are seeing, but these are a couple of possibilities.
