If you can help...dh is possibly getting a job in DE but we may live in PA. My question is, do you get hosed on state income taxes or is there some sort of reciprocity agreement between them so you don't get hit twice?
If anyone is in this situation and knowledgeable about these matters, please do share what you know. Thanks a bunch.

There is some kind of bordering State agreement. I live in Ohio, and work at the Pittsburgh Airport. I pay Ohio State income taxes. I pay the Findley Township occupational privilege tax. That's $10 per year. I also pay the Pa. State unemployment insurance tax. That is 91 cents per week.

I have coworkers that live in Charlotte North Carolina. They pay both North Carolina, and Pa. income taxes. Because they are not bordering States.

That's all I know.

Hi there....

Although I dont live anywhere near you....I did a search and found this topic on previous posts in the forum. Yes there is reprocity between the states...so the income taxes that are taken out of your paycheck is the state where you live. For ex...work in Delaware but live in PA PA income taxes are taken out. Similar to me as I work in North Dakota but live in Minnesota....Minnesota taxes are taken out of my check.

Delaware does NOT have any reprocity with any other state. You will pay taxes to both states. Delaware will calculate your taxes on your full income, then apportion the tax bill relative to your overall income. Pennsylvania will allow a credit of the Delaware tax paid or 3.07%, whichever is less. Check out http://revenue.delaware.gov. Under the business taxpayer section you will find a form called W4NR which will assist you in this matter.

Be advised that PA and the municipality in which you live will both probably require you to make estimated tax payments on the difference. There are no local wage taxes in Delaware EXCEPT in the City of Wilmington itself (1.25%). Not all Wilmington zip codes are actually in the city so check on that. If you post the address of the employer I'll be glad to post if there is the city wage tax.

What is the situation if you live in PA, but work in NJ? As I understood, there is reciprocity and I would only have to pay PA income tax (which is actually higher than NJ in my tax bracket).

Pennsylvania has reciprocity most of its neighboring states: New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, and Ohio. It does not have reciprocity with New York or Delaware. It also has reciprocity with two non-bordering states: Indiana and Virginia. IN requires PA residents to pay county income tax but not state income tax. Maryland requires the same only if the PA resident lives in a municipality that taxes MD residents (which is almost all of them).

My understanding is that you need to claim a credit for the tax paid on your PA state tax return. PA differs from states like NY in several ways. Unlike NY you are not able to aggrigate and net income and deductions from different businesses. If you are a straight salaried employee this is not an issue. There is a form on the PA return that takes gives you credit for the taxes paid on income subject to tax in another jurisdiction.

The first paragraph is correct. However, the local taxing agency in PA will allow you a credit against the local tax (often the local tax is 1%) for any taxes paid to a neighboring state that are in excess of 3.07% (the PA rate). So if you pay 5% to DE, as an example, you will be allowed the excess of 5% over 3.07% to apply against your local tax. This hinges on the fact that the wages are taxed in both places (PA and DE).
