Pennsylvania 2011: Part-Year Residents and Wages
Pennsylvania part-year residents pay income tax on any income earned while living in Pennsylvania.
Certain Pennsylvania part-year customers, who received a W-2 from a state other than Pennsylvania, may have filed an incorrect Pennsylvania tax return.
TurboTax has fixed this issue.
How to tell if you may be impacted
You may be affected if ALL of the following are true:
- You filed a 2011 Pennsylvania part-year tax return prior to March 7, 2012 AND
- While you were living in Pennsylvania, you earned income in another state AND
- That state was NOT Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Virginia or West Virginia AND
- That income was not reported on your W-2 as PA income (see box 15) AND
- The income was not included on your Pennsylvania Form PA-40, line 1a (Gross compensation.)
If you are affected, you may have underpaid your Pennsylvania tax. You will need to amend your Pennsylvania tax return.
