in State Filing

I live in PA but work in NY. I've completed the steps to fill out the necessary Schedule G-L form to claim my resident credit, and FreeTaxUSA is displaying that the credit will be applied to my PA returns. I've also done my NY returns with FreeTaxUSA. However, I know that in order to receive the credit, I need to submit my NY income tax return and W2s filed with NY alongside my PA-40. Is this something that FreeTaxUSA will do automatically? If not, how do I go about submitting these forms?

    Hi wowthanks,

    If you e-file your return, our software should automatically transmit that required NY state return to PA, along with your PA-40. If anything else is needed after your return has been e-filed, you'll find information about that on the last screen under the "Final Steps" tab.

    If you mail your PA return, you can include a copy of the NY return when you mail your PA return.

    Hi all,

    I live in PA but earned a bit of income in IL. Submitted a nonresident IL return and my PA return includes a Schedule G-L.

    I just filed with FreeTaxUSA and the "last steps" page is telling me I need to mail the Schedule G-L and the IL return to the PA department of revenue. Does FreeTaxUSA not do that electronically?

    Thanks!

    Hi denverchickennuggets,

    You have a valid question. Our software complies with requirements from each state. I looked at this alert. It comes from the PA E-file division. It isn't our requirement

    Follow the instruction we provided precisely and mail in the out-of-state return with the PA Form G-L so you can receive your credit.
