Yes you will have to file the Pa state income tax return correctly to determine if you have to pay any PA state income tax.
The income you receive from NY sources is taxable by NY. All income you receive from any source in the world (including the NY income) is taxable by PA. You will need to file a NY non-resident income tax return at the end of the year. You will also file a PA resident income tax return. Attach Schedule G-L to your PA income tax return. This will allow you to claim a credit for the tax you paid to NY against the tax you owe PA. Note that the amount of the credit cannot exceed the tax that PA would have charged on the same income. In effect, the combined tax you will be paying PA and NY for your NY wages will be the same as the higher of the two rates. Since your NY employer won't be deducting any PA state income taxes, you may have to pay quarterly estimated tax payments to PA in order to avoid an underpayment penalty. Remember you have to pay PA tax on all of your other income besides just your wages. You'll need to estimate how much your PA tax for the year will be after deducting the credit for NY taxes on your wages and make the appropriate quarterly payments.

You can file regardless of how much money you make. In fact you should file if you had any taxes withheld from your salary since that is the only way to get a refund. You probably want to know how much you can make before you *have to* file. The number in PA is astonishingly small. You have to file if you have at least $33 in taxable PA income.
It depends :) Pennsylvania state income tax is a flat 3.07% with no deductions. So on $1,000, you would owe $30.70 to the state. However, throughout Pennsylvania, you also pay local income tax, and that varies by township or borough or municipality--whatever tax area you live in. The only way to find out that number is to call you township or borough or municipality offices and ask (or, sometimes it's listed on their website--if your area is large enough to have a real website :) So figure an additional 2-3% for local income taxes.

If you are a PA resident, nonresident or a part-year PA resident, you must file a PA tax return if: • You received total PA gross taxable income in excess of $33, even if no tax is due with your PA return; and/or • You incurred a loss from any transaction as an individual, sole proprietor, partner in a partnership or PA S corporation shareholder. PA law does not exempt a minor from the above requirements to file a PA tax return even if claimed as a dependent on a federal return. The executor, administrator, or other person responsible for the affairs of a decedent must file a PA tax return if the decedent met the above requirements. Pennsylvania taxes eight classes of income: (1) compensation; (2) net profits from the operation of a business, profession or farm; (3) net gains or income less net losses from dispositions of property; (4) net gains or income from rents, royalties, patents and copyrights; (5) dividends; (6) interest; (7) gambling winnings (except Pennsylvania Lottery winnings); and (8) net gains or income derived through estates or trusts.

Federal income tax is the same no matter which state you live in or work in. If you worked in PA, you will have to file a state tax return for PA if they have state income taxes. If you live in one state and work in another you may have to file in both states. As a resident on one and a non-resident in the other. If you move in the middle of a calendar year you may have to file in both as a part year resident.
