Nonreciprocal States. Two of Pennsylvania’s neighboring states do not offer income tax reciprocity: Delaware and New York. This means, for example, a Pennsylvania resident working in one of those states must file a return in that state, pay the tax, and then take a credit on his or her Pennsylvania return.

As far as the state taxes is concerned, yes, the same rule does apply. NY is allowed to tax all of your income as a resident of NY. PA will tax all of your income earned in PA, and NY will apply a credit for the income tax you pay to PA for the income you earn there.

  What’s the best way to get to work at Penn Station?

  “During Penn Station’s #summerofhell, the altered train schedule meant waking up at 5 a.m. to get to work on time.” 6 a.m. Tuesday: I wake up and try to head out the door by 6:30. I carpool with my wife on her way to work, and she drops me off at 30th Street Station.
