Best Answer

Tax returns are filed on Worker's Compensation in the State of Pennsylvania when the employee must turn over the worker's compensation payments to the employer in order to receive his or her regular salary in return. The employee does not report the worker's compensation payments, but does report the full amount of his or her regular salary.

== == If either your employer bought the policy, or you purchased it with PRE-tax money (thru payroll deduction perhaps), then I believe disability benefits are taxable at ordinary income tax rates. If it was purchased with after tax money, usually not taxable.

A good rule of thumb is: If YOU haven't paid taxes on the premiums, you're going to pay

taxes on the benefits. Another good rule..if it's replacing income that would have been taxable (your salary), then it is taxable now too. But if it's replacing something you lost (like a body part, an arm or leg for example), then it's only restoring your loss and isn't taxable.

What are my state taxes if I live in PA but work in NY?

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.

Do you have to file state and local taxes every year in pa?

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.

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.
