Something sounds wrong here and should be checked into. In ALL states, the employers, not the employees, pay the unemployment taxes based on the wages the employer pays his workers. Also, only the state of Pennsylvania should be involved.

Answer:You file for unemployment from the "liable state" which collects the unemployment insurance from the employer you worked for. In this case, the "liable state" is New York. If you work 18 months only in New York, but live outside the state, you MUST file with New York.
