I work in NY my employer in PA, I am fully remote and do no go into PA. I pay NY taxes and it says I do not have PA tax due - do I need to file a PA state return still?

Is there a reason I would need to do a state tax return to PA if I can avoid it?

That doesn't apply to you.  PA doesn't treat your compensation as PA-sourced income if you are a nonresident employee required work remotely in another state.  Review the PA Department of Revenue Telework Guidance.

 

You won't have to file a PA tax return unless your employer withheld PA taxes.

 

PA wages and withholding would be in boxes 15,16, and 17.

The only reason you would have to file a PA tax return is if PA withheld taxes.  

 

For more information, refer to the TurboTax article Do I need to file a nonresident return for an out-of-state employer?

    The link you attached had PA as one of the places that must pay, but is that for state tax returns?


    I do not see that in my w2 is there a particular place it would be located? Or that I should look for?
