My husband and I live in Pennsylvania. He works in a different city(in state) than where we live. Would he file his local taxes in the city where we live or where he works?

Not A Product Question

He will need to file local taxes where you live, but the need to file where he works depends on the jurisdiction he works in. For example, in Lycoming County, there is a non resident tax rate for multiple townships, while other jurisdictions within Lycoming county do not tax non residents.

Since TurboTax does not handle local taxes in PA, you will need to contact the city taxing authority where he works to find out if he needs to file a return in that city or not.

So between the locations where he lives and works, he wouldn’t have to pay taxes just at the location where the highest tax rate is?

It depends. He could have to file and pay in both locations. Most places he will at least have to pay the Local Services Tax (which the employer usually withholds) in the place he works. The rest is totally up to the city/township.
