Who Must File a PA Tax Return?
If you are a PA resident, nonresident or a part-year PA resident, you must
file a
2022
PA tax return if:
You received total PA gross taxable income in excess of $33 during
2022
, 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.
Minors
. PA law does not exempt a minor from the previously described
requirements to file a PA tax return even if claimed as a dependent on a
federal return. A parent/guardian must file a return on behalf of the minor
child in such circumstances.
Decedents
. The executor, administrator or other person responsible for
the affairs of a decedent must file a PA tax return if the decedent met the
previously described requirements.
Persons Not Required to File Federal Income Tax Returns. If you are
not required to file a federal income tax return, you may still be required
to file a PA personal income tax return because the requirements for filing
a return in Pennsylvania are different than federal requirements. You must
file a return in Pennsylvania if any of the situations previously described
apply. See
the
PA Personal Income Tax Guide

Ordering Services on Page 2.
Students

Filing Status
Fill in the oval that describes your status on Dec. 31, 2022. You do not
have to file a PA tax return if you do not individually meet the requirements
described under Who Must File a PA Tax Return? on Page 4. If you do
not live in Pennsylvania and do not have any income (loss) from PA
sources, you do not have to file a PA tax return, even if married to
someone who must file a PA tax return. If you are a PA resident who does
not have any PA income (loss) to report, you do not have to file a PA tax
return, even if married to a person who must file a PA tax return.
(S) Single
You must file as single if on Dec. 31, 2022:
1. You were not married; or
2. During 2022, you divorced or became a widow or widower, did not
remarry and/or could not or did not elect to file a joint return with a
deceased spouse.
(J) Married, Filing Jointly
You and your spouse, even if living apart or one of you is deceased, can
file a joint return for convenience. The executor(s) of the estate(s) of the
taxpayer and spouse may also elect to file jointly. To file jointly, you must
meet ALL of the following conditions:
1. Your taxable years end on the same date (not including returns with
a deceased taxpayer and/or spouse); and
2. You and your spouse elect to have the same residency period
(earliest starting date if you moved into Pennsylvania and latest
ending date if you moved out of Pennsylvania) if you are part-year
residents; and
3. Neither of you is individually claiming one or more of the credits on
PA Schedule OC, (see Page 22); and
4. Your deceased spouse’s estate has not elected to file a separate
return on his or her behalf; and
5. Neither of you is individually liable for the payment of child or spousal
support, or another liability to the PA Department of Human Services;
and
6. Neither of you is individually liable for the payment of a court-ordered
obligation arising from a criminal prosecution or proceeding.
If you and your spouse made separate estimated payments, you
should file separate tax returns, each claiming only your own
payments. If you and your spouse made your estimated payments jointly,
you should file a joint tax return. However, if you and your spouse made
estimated payments jointly and because of PA guidelines you must file
separate tax returns, you must allocate the payments by completing Form
REV-459B, Consent to Transfer, Adjust or Correct PA Estimated Personal
Income Tax Account. The form must be completed in its entirety, showing
the total number of payments made for the year and the amount of the
payments to be transferred to the spouse. Both individuals must sign the
form. This form can be sent to the address shown on the form prior to
7www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
filing the return or a copy of the form can be submitted with both returns
when filing. This avoids processing delays and correspondence from the
department.
Joint Income - Joint Returns
Married taxpayers can file a joint tax return for convenience only. If you
and your spouse jointly own income-producing property, you must each
report your share of the income (loss). Income-producing property
includes savings accounts, businesses, securities, and real estate.
Spouses usually equally divide income from jointly owned property.
CAUTION: On a joint return, you and your spouse are each
separately liable for the entire amount of PA tax due, even if only
one of you had taxable income, and even if one of you paid your own PA
tax through withholding or estimated payments. The income and losses
of a taxpayer and spouse must be determined separately. You may not
offset the income of the taxpayer with a loss from the spouse and vice
versa. See REPORTING NET INCOME, GAINS, AND LOSSES ON
LINES 4, 5, AND 6 on Page 15 and the requirements for the schedules
reporting the income and losses for each class of income for additional
information and reporting requirements.
(M) Married, Filing Separately
You and your spouse have the option to file separate returns. However,
you and your spouse must file separate returns if:
1. Your taxable years end on different dates; or
2. Your taxable years begin on different dates for part-year residents;
or
3. Either of you is claiming one or more of the credits on PA Schedule
OC; or
4. Either of you is individually liable for the payment of spousal/child
support, or another liability to the PA Department of Human Services;
or
5. Either of you is individually liable for a court-ordered obligation to
the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts; or
6. One of you is a PA resident and the other is not. However, you can
file jointly if you both elect to file as PA residents and meet all other
requirements for filing jointly. See Married, Filing Jointly beginning
on the previous page.
CAUTION: You must include your spouse’s SSN even if filing
Married, Filing Separately.
(F) Final Return
Use this filing status if you lived in Pennsylvania during 2022, but
permanently moved away or if for any other reason, you will not have any
PA-taxable income (or loss) in 2023. Provide the reason, such as you
moved to another state.
REMEMBER: Even after you move from Pennsylvania, you must report
any PA-taxable income you earned, received, or realized from PA
sources.
(D) Deceased
Use this status if the taxpayer, spouse or both died in 2022. Enter the
date(s) of death.
For tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2013, a joint return can be filed
by the surviving spouse and decedent when a spouse or taxpayer dies
during the tax year if:
1. The decedent did not previously file a return for the tax year; and
2. The personal representative, executor or administrator has not been
appointed by the time the return is made, signed and filed; or
3. The fiduciary of the decedent consents to the filing of and signs the
joint return.
Also for tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2013, the executor(s) of
the estate(s) of the taxpayer and spouse (if both die during the same tax
year) may elect to file a joint return on behalf of the taxpayer and spouse
if:
1. The personal representatives, executors or administrators consent
to filing a joint return; and
2. The joint return is signed by both fiduciaries.
A surviving spouse must file a separate return if the fiduciary of the estate
does not agree to a joint return or if a fiduciary of the decedent is
appointed after the filing of the joint return and the fiduciary supersedes
the joint return filing by filing a separate return on behalf of the decedent.
In cases where a joint return has already been filed by the spouse and a
fiduciary has been appointed who wants to file a separate return on behalf
of the decedent, a separate return for the surviving spouse must be filed
within 90 days of the filing of the decedent’s separate return by the
fiduciary. If the surviving spouse’s separate return is filed within 90 days,
the separate return shall be considered to be filed on the date the original
joint return was filed. Otherwise, the surviving spouse’s return shall be
considered to be filed on the date the department receives it.
FILING TIPS:
If a joint return is filed and the taxpayer, spouse or both are
deceased, complete the married filing joint oval, the deceased oval
and the spouse and/or taxpayer ovals as well as the date(s) of death.
The surviving spouse should complete the name and Social Security
number section of the return as the primary taxpayer on the return.
If a separate return must be filed by the surviving spouse and a joint
return was not previously filed, the surviving spouse’s filing status
should be single and no information should be included in the
deceased filing status area.
If a separate return must be filed by the surviving spouse after having
filed a joint return, the surviving spouse should also complete the
amended return oval and include Schedule PA-40 X.
If a separate return is filed by the decedent’s fiduciary, the fiduciary
should complete the deceased and taxpayer ovals and include the
date of death.
If both taxpayers die during the tax year and the fiduciaries do not
elect to file a joint return, complete the taxpayer deceased oval and
include the date of death on the separate returns for each.
If a decedent was not married when he or she died, the fiduciary
should complete the deceased taxpayer oval and include the date
of death.
CAUTION: Do not list the deceased taxpayer’s name and Social
Security number as the primary taxpayer unless both the taxpayer
and spouse die during the tax year and a joint return is filed on their
behalf.
The executor, or other person responsible for the affairs of the decedent
should also use this filing status to complete, sign, and file a separate
return for the decedent. The return must report all the decedent’s 2022
income, payments, and credits. The person signing the decedent’s return
must indicate his or her relationship to the decedent (executor or person
responsible for the affairs of the decedent).
8 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
Surviving Spouse
If the decedent was married, the surviving spouse may be required to file
a separate return, and use the Single (S) filing status. If the decedent
made PA estimated payments, the surviving spouse may request Form
REV-459B to reconcile the estimated payments to the separate PA tax
returns. Request this form from the department’s website, or one of the
Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
Farmers
Fill in this oval if you derived at least two-thirds of your 2022 gross income
from farming.

PA INCOME CLASSES
9www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
Deductions
PA law does not allow standard deductions, deductions for personal
exemptions, itemized deductions or deductions for personal expenses.
CAUTION: PA-taxable interest income (Line 2), dividend income
(Line 3) and gambling and lottery winnings (Line 8) are gross
taxable income classes. You may not deduct any expenses in computing
these classes of income. In computing compensation, only certain
expenses are deductible; see the PA Schedule UE instructions beginning
on Page 26. The remaining classes of income are net taxable - you may
deduct ordinary and necessary expenses paid or accrued during the
taxable year in their production. See the line instructions for each class
of income.
Cost Recovery
PA law does not permit deductions or exemptions for contributions to
retirement plans, investments in annuities, mutual funds, money market
funds, and other personal contributions, even when deducted or exempt
for federal purposes. Therefore, Pennsylvania will not tax your
distributions or the payments you receive until you have recovered an
amount equal to your contributions. Maintain your records of your
contributions. If you receive an early taxable distribution from a retirement
plan, and you do not have records of your contributions, consult your plan
administrator.
Education Savings Accounts - Qualified Tuition Programs under
IRC Section 529, like Pennsylvania 529 College and Career
Savings Program
Contributions to a Pennsylvania 529 College and Career Savings
Program account and other IRC Section 529-qualified tuition program
accounts are deductible. For additional information, see the instructions
for Line 10, Other Deductions, on Page 20 and the instructions for PA
Schedule O, Other Deductions, on Page 36.
NOTE: Certain withdrawals and distributions not used for
educational purposes are taxable. See the instructions for PA
Schedule A beginning on Page 30 for additional information.
Pennsylvania ABLE Savings Program Fund Accounts - Qualified
IRC Section 529A Accounts
Contributions to an account established under the Pennsylvania ABLE
(Achieving a Better Life Experience) Savings Program are deductible.
Earnings on a Pennsylvania ABLE account are also exempt from taxation
when used for qualified disability expenses of eligible individuals. With-
drawals for other than qualifying purposes are subject to tax as interest
income on Line 3 of PA Schedule A. Use the cost recovery method to de-
termine the amount of any non-qualifying withdrawals subject to tax for
any contributions made prior to Jan. 1, 2017. For contributions made
after Dec. 31, 2016, the entire amount of any non-qualifying withdrawal

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PA PIT AND IRS
For more information on differences between Pennsylvania and the IRS,
refer to the PA Personal Income Tax Guide and the specific topic sections
related to the income class for which you have a question. The following
differences are the result of recent Pennsylvania and federal legislation:
Depreciation - PA Limitations
Bonus Depreciation
PA PIT law does not follow the federal allowances for additional
depreciation expenses. You may not use any of the bonus
depreciation elections enacted for federal purposes.
ACRS and MACRS and IRC Section 179
Pennsylvania allows ACRS and MACRS and limited IRC Section
179 to the extent allowable under the version of the Internal Revenue
Code in effect at the time the property was placed in service, or
under Section 179 of the IRC of 1986, as amended to Jan. 1, 1997,
whichever is earlier, but not any other accelerated method. 72 PS §
7303(a.3)(Act 89 of 2002.)
Limited IRC Section 179
The maximum deduction that PA income tax law permits using
IRC Section 179 is $25,000. If you have income (loss) from more
than one business, profession, or farm, you may not deduct more
than a total of $25,000 of IRC Section 179 expenses for all activities.
The PA Section 179 expense is phased out for purchases in excess
of $200,000.
For more information regarding what PA Section 179 expenses are
allowed or allowable, please see Informational Notice PIT 2012-05
on the department’s website at www.revenue.pa.gov.
Intangible Drilling Costs
Per Act 52 of 2013, taxpayers that directly incur intangible drilling
and development costs (IDCs) may elect to currently expense up to
one-third of the IDCs in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2013. The
remainder of the IDCs may be amortized over 10 years. If a taxpayer
does not elect to currently expense his/her IDCs, he/she may
amortize the IDCs over 10 years. For tax years beginning prior to
Jan. 1, 2014, IDCs must be amortized over the life of the well.
CAUTION: Any election to expense up to one-third of the
IDCs must be made by the taxpayer incurring the IDCs. A
partner or shareholder may not make an election to expense IDCs
passed through from a partnership or S corporation.
Other Differences
You must adjust your federal expense for the difference between
your federal depreciation and your depreciation for PA PIT purposes,
when you elect a different generally accepted method that you
consistently use.
IMPORTANT: The basis for property (where bonus
depreciation or IRC Section 179 in excess of $25,000 has
been taken for federal income tax purposes) will be different for
federal and state tax purposes. As a result, PA law requires straight-
line depreciation to be taken on these assets.

is taxable. The department uses the FIFO method for determining when
contributions are withdrawn. For additional information regarding the de-
duction, see the instructions for Line 10, Other Deductions, on Page 20
and the instructions for PA Schedule O, Other Deductions, on Page 36.
Overview: PA-taxable compensation includes, but is not limited to:
salaries; wages; tips; gratuities; commissions; bonuses; incentive
payments; vacation and holiday pay; employer student loan payments;
student loan debt forgiveness for entering certain fields or professions;
distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans; certain early
distributions from retirement plans; and termination pay. The amount your
employer reports in Box 16 of your Form W-2 usually shows your PA-
taxable compensation if the W-2 includes PA withholding in Box 17. If you
are a PA resident and your W-2 does not include withholding from PA but
includes withholding from another state, you should also complete and
include the W-2 RW, Reconciliation Worksheet, with your return to
reconcile the compensation to PA-taxable compensation. If you receive
Forms 1099 or other statements, your PA-taxable compensation is the
gross amount that you received for performing services.
The amount in Box 16 of your Form W-2 may be different from the amount
in Box 1. PA law requires a PA employer to follow PA income tax rules to
determine Box 16. If you have any questions, contact your employer.
Taxable compensation for PA personal income tax purposes also includes
amounts received as:
Executor or executrix fees from an estate;
Fiduciary fees from a trust;
Honorariums;
Jury duty pay;
Director’s fees;
Covenant not to compete payments;
Damages or settlements for lost wages;
Early distributions from retirement plans or IRAs (traditional or Roth);
Distributions from employee stock ownership plans (if not a PA
eligible plan); and
Other non-employee compensation for services rendered.
If you have one or more of the above, you must include the amount in
your gross compensation amount reported on Line 1a and include a
statement that provides a description of the amount.
NOTE: See the W-2 Filing Tips beginning on this page and or the
1099-R Filing Tips beginning on Page 13 for additional information.
The method used to file a return will determine if copies of W-2s, 1099-
MISCs, 1099-NECs and 1099-Rs will need to be included with the filing
of the return in order for the department to verify the amount of taxable
compensation and/or to verify an amount received is not taxable for PA
personal income tax purposes. Taxpayers that file by submitting a copy
of a paper return will be required to submit additional documents not often
required by those who submit their return electronically. See the
instructions for When to Submit Forms W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC and
1099-R below.
IMPORTANT: Taxpayers with multiple W-2s and multiple types of
compensation should submit a statement that lists the amounts
and payors of the compensation along with the total amount reported on
Line 1a.
NOTE: If you do not have a Form W-2 or a federal substitute
W-2, Form 4852, you must submit evidence of your PA
compensation and tax withheld by providing pay stubs and a statement
identifying your employer and the reason you do not have a Form W-2.
Please submit legible photocopies. Keep your original documents.
When to Submit Forms W-2, 1099-MISC, 1099-NEC and 1099-R
For Paper Filed Returns:
If you file your PA-40 return in paper format, you must include actual
copies or photocopies of all Forms W-2. You must submit actual copies
or photocopies of all Forms 1099-R for all types of distributions regardless
of whether the distribution is taxable and/or non-taxable for PA personal
income tax purposes. If the amounts on Forms 1099-MISC and/or 1099-
NEC are reported as compensation or include PA-tax withheld, you are
required to submit actual copies or photocopies of the forms.
For E-Filed Returns:
If you file your PA-40 electronically, you are not required to submit an
actual copy of your W-2, 1099-R, 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC forms unless
certain conditions exist with respect to those forms. For Forms 1099-
MISC, 1099-NEC and 1099-R, you are only required to submit actual
copies of these forms if there is PA tax withholding reported on the forms.
For Forms W-2, you must submit an actual state copy or a legible
photocopy of each state copy of Form W-2 and a written explanation only
if:
1. The PA compensation you enter on Line 1a of your PA-40 is not the
same as Box 16 on your Form W-2 (you believe that the PA
compensation or withholding is incorrect).
2. Your employer gave you a handwritten Form W-2.
3. Your employer reported an incorrect amount on your Form W-2. You
must also submit a written statement from your employer.
4. Your employer withheld PA income tax from your wages at a rate
that is more than the 2022 tax rate of 3.07 percent.
5. You are a resident of a reciprocal compensation agreement state
and your employer withheld PA income tax.
6. The Medicare wages in Box 5 on your Form W-2 are greater than
your PA wages in Box 16. In this case, complete and include with
your return the PA-40 W-2 Reconciliation Worksheet. To obtain the
worksheet, use one of the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
7. You are a PA resident working in another state or country and did
not have PA income tax withheld by your employer.
8. You have a distribution from a nonqualified deferred compensation
plan included in Box 1 of your Form W-2.
9. You are a PA resident and your Form W-2 shows income earned or
tax withheld for another state.
10. Your Form W-2 or W-2P includes no PA compensation amount and
is or is not taxable for PA personal income tax purposes. If the
amount is not taxable for PA personal income tax purposes, include
an explanation of why the amount is not taxable.
W-2 FILING TIPS:
1. Submit photocopies of all original Forms W-2 with your return. Some
original Form W-2 documents cannot be processed by the
department’s imaging equipment (onion skin paper printed in blue
ink, for example) and could delay the processing of a return. If
possible, submit a photocopy of the Form W-2 on standard size
paper instead of the actual Form W-2.
2. If the PA-taxable wages you are reporting are less than the amount
reported on your Form W-2, please include a brief explanation of the
difference with your return and/or a letter from your employer
documenting the difference in taxable amounts.
LINE 1a. GROSS COMPENSATION
11www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
3. If your employer withholds excess PA personal income tax at your
request, include with your return a statement from your employer
verifying the rate and amount of tax withheld for the tax year.
4. If you worked outside of Pennsylvania and your employer did not
withhold PA personal income tax, your taxable PA wages may be
higher or lower than the state wages reported on your Form W-2 in
Box 16. Amounts paid to you as retirement plan contributions,
personal use of company automobile and/or group term life
insurance may require additional adjustments to the amount reported
to the other state or country. See the PA Personal Income Tax Guide
Gross Compensation section for additional information. You should
also complete the PA-40 W-2 RW, Reconciliation Worksheet.
5. If you are a PA resident and your W-2 includes military pay for active
duty outside PA, the amount for active duty pay outside PA is not
taxable compensation for PA personal income tax purposes. In
addition, any military pay earned as a nonresident while on active
duty within in PA is not taxable for PA personal income tax purposes.
Do not include the amounts included in Box 16 of your W-2 for active
duty military pay earned outside PA or for nonresident military pay
earned in PA in Line 1a of the PA-40. If any PA income tax is withheld
from the military pay, include the amount of tax withheld on Line 13
of the PA-40. Copies of military orders are required to be included
with returns as proof of active duty status outside PA. See the Military
Pay – Members of the Armed Forces instructions on Page 40 for
more information.
6. If any military pay is earned by a PA resident while on active duty
status within PA, the amount is taxable for PA personal income tax
purposes. Include the amount from Box 16 of your W-2 on Line 1a
of the PA-40.
7. If your W-2 includes taxable and nontaxable military pay, include a
statement with your return that provides the amounts of taxable and
nontaxable military pay and how they were determined.
PA-40 W-2 RW, Reconciliation Worksheet
If your W-2 does not contain sufficient information in Boxes 12 and 14 to
reconcile the federal and Medicare wages on your W-2 to the amount
reported as PA wages, complete and include the PA-40 W-2 RW,
Reconciliation Worksheet, with your return. The PA-40 W-2 RW, should
also be included if you received distributions of previously taxed
contributions from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan. To obtain
the worksheet, use one of the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
Reciprocal Compensation Agreement States
Pennsylvania has agreements with Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio,
Virginia and West Virginia. Generally, under these agreements, one state
will not tax a resident of the other state on compensation that is subject
to employer withholding. These agreements apply to most types of W-2
compensation earned while a resident of the reciprocal compensation
agreement state. It does not apply to miscellaneous and non-employee
compensation, compensation earned while a PA resident and received
while a resident of the reciprocal compensation agreement state or
compensation paid to Ohio resident shareholder-employees with a 20
percent or greater interest in a PA S corporation who worked or performed
services in Pennsylvania in 2022.
If you are a PA resident working in one of these states, and your employer
withheld the other state’s income tax, you must file for a refund from that
state.
File early so you will have your refund before the due date for
paying your PA tax liability.
IMPORTANT: If you earn at least $8,000 in the other state, and
your employer doesn’t withhold PA income tax, under PA law you
may have to make estimated payments. Please read the information on
Page 40. If this is your situation, you are liable for Estimated Underpay-
ment Penalty. See the Line 27 instructions on Page 23.
Resident of a Reciprocal State Filing for a Refund
If you are a resident of a reciprocal state working in Pennsylvania and
your employer withheld PA income tax, you may request a refund of the
PA tax. You report zero taxable compensation on Line 1a, and the PA tax
withheld on Line 13. You must submit a legible photocopy of your Form
W-2, a copy of the resident income tax return that you filed with your
resident state (without the supporting forms and schedules), and a
statement explaining that you are a resident of a reciprocal state.
Reimbursable Expenses/Cash Reimbursements for Personal
Employee Expenses
PA-allowable employee expenses are not always the same as allowable
federal business expenses. Read the instructions beginning on Page 26.
You must be able to substantiate travel expenses as to time, place and
business purpose.
Report all reimbursements and allowances paid by your employer as
compensation unless you meet all three of the following requirements:
1. The expenses are PA-allowable employee business expenses; and
2. You must, and do, account for these expenses to your employer;
and
3. Your employer reimburses you in the exact amount of the allowable
business expenses.
If you receive a fixed-mileage allowance; a fixed expense reimbursement
amount; a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly expense allowance
reimbursement; or a per-diem living expense allowance that does not
exceed applicable federal limits, you meet these requirements. Do not
report these expenses on PA Schedule UE.
Retirement, Pensions, and Deferred Compensation
Eligible Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans
Pennsylvania does not impose income tax on payments you receive
that are commonly recognized retirement benefits distributed from
eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans. Eligible employer-
sponsored retirement plans can, but do not necessarily, include
employer-sponsored deferred compensation plans; pension or profit
sharing plans; 401(k) plans; thrift plans; thrift savings plans; and
employee welfare plans. Ask your employer or plan administrator if
your employer’s retirement plan is an eligible plan for PA income tax
purposes. Eligible non-employer-sponsored retirement plans can,
but do not necessarily, include Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)
and Roth IRAs.
Contributions
The contributions you make to your employer’s sponsored retirement
plan are PA-taxable compensation, even if your contributions are
not taxable for federal purposes or included in the state wages
shown on your W-2.
Distributions from Eligible Employer-Sponsored
Retirement or Deferred Compensation Programs
All amounts you receive from your eligible employer-sponsored
retirement or old age benefit plan are taxable in the year you receive
the payments, except:
12 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
1. Payments you receive after you qualify for retirement and retire.
2. Payments you receive that you rollover into another deferred
payment program or retirement IRA, but only when the
transferred amounts are not taxable income for federal
purposes.
3. Distributions from an employer-sponsored deferred
compensation plan that represent your previous contributions.
4. Payments paid to the estate or designated beneficiary upon an
employee’s death are not PA-taxable income on the employee's
final PA-40 or on the decedent’s estate or trust PA-41, PA
Fiduciary Income Tax Return or on the beneficiary’s PA-40.
5. All distributions (regardless of the distribution code reported in
Box 7 of the 1099-R) from the State Employees’ Retirement
System, the Pennsylvania School Employees’ Retirement
System, the Pennsylvania Municipal Employees’ Retirement
System, and the U.S. Civil Service Commission Retirement
Disability Plan.
6. Retired or retainer pay of a member or former member of a
uniform service computed under Chapter 71 of Title 10, U.S.
Code as amended.
Individual Retirement Accounts
Contributions
PA law does not allow you to deduct your contributions to any IRA.
Undistributed Income
You do not report the undistributed interest and other earnings on
the assets held in your IRA.
Withdrawals
Distributions from an IRA, including a federal Roth IRA, are taxable
to the extent the distribution exceeds your previous contributions.
Distributions you receive after retiring but before age 59
1
/
2
are
taxable even if you receive substantially equal payments, and you
do not pay the federal penalty for an early withdrawal. PA law does
not have any exceptions similar to the federal exceptions for
withdrawal before age 59
1
/
2
. However, distributions from an IRA are
not taxable if the payments are:
1. Received, including lump sum distributions, on or after reaching
the age of 59
1
/
2
; or
2. Paid to the estate, or designated beneficiary, of the participant
because of the participant’s death.
Traditional IRA Rollover
You do not have to pay PA tax on the difference between the amount
distributed from your traditional IRA and your previous contributions:
1. If you rolled over the entire withdrawal directly (trustee to trustee)
from one traditional IRA to another traditional IRA; or
2. If you withdrew from the traditional IRA and within 60 days
invested the entire (100 percent) amount you received into
another traditional IRA.
Roth IRA Rollover
You do not have to pay PA tax on the difference between the amount
distributed from your traditional IRA and your previous contributions:
1. If you rolled over the entire withdrawal directly (trustee to trustee)
from the traditional IRA to the Roth IRA; or
2. If you withdrew from the traditional IRA and within 60 days
invested the entire (100 percent) amount you received into a
Roth IRA.
CAUTION: If federal tax is withheld from a rollover distribution, the
amount of federal tax withheld must also be reimbursed into the
new IRA account in order for the rollover to be considered nontaxable for
PA PIT purposes. See 1099-R Filing Tips beginning on Page 13 for
additional information.
IMPORTANT: For detailed information on Pennsylvania taxation
of distributions from IRAs, please review Tax Bulletin 2008-01 on
the department’s website, www.revenue.pa.gov.
Early Retirement Incentive Plans
Payments you receive as an inducement to retire early are taxable
compensation. Such payments are not part of a PA-qualifying retirement
program. Your employer includes these incentive payments on your Form
W-2 and withholds PA tax. Even when you move out of Pennsylvania,
these incentive payments remain taxable to Pennsylvania.
Distributions
If you withdrew from your retirement or pension plan, and received
a Form 1099-R, you may have PA-taxable compensation if:
1. Your retirement plan is not an eligible employer-sponsored
retirement plan; or
2. You have not reached the retirement age or years of service
requirements under such eligible, employer-sponsored
retirement plan.
Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Programs
With certain exceptions, Pennsylvania’s constructive receipt rules are the
same as the federal constructive receipt rules to determine when
compensation is received by a cash basis taxpayer. Following the federal
constructive receipt rule, deferrals to nonqualified deferred compensation
plans are not included in compensation. However, compensation includes
distributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plans attributable
to an elective deferral of income, regardless of whether the distributions
are paid during employment or retirement. Also, distributions of previously
taxed contributions are not taxable. If you receive distributions of
previously taxed contributions, complete and include with your return the
PA-40 W-2 Reconciliation Worksheet. To obtain the worksheet, use one
of the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
Federal Form 1099-R (Qualified Plans and IRAs)
The PA Personal Income Tax Guide Gross Compensation section
contains a table which cross-references the information on the Form
1099-R with its corresponding PA income tax treatment. PA law does not
follow federal law concerning early retirement options for Individual
Retirement Accounts, IRC Section 401 plans, 403 plans, and other
federally qualified plans. To determine if the amount you received is
taxable in Pennsylvania, review Boxes 1 through 3 (the amount you
received or your distributions) and the PA tax treatment of Box 7 (the
codes that will help determine the taxability of your distribution). The
federal codes contained in Box 7 of Form 1099-R include:
Code 1 & 2 Early Distribution
This distribution is taxable for PA purposes, unless: (1) your pension
or retirement plan was an eligible employer-sponsored retirement
plan for PA tax purposes; and (2) you retired after meeting the age
conditions of the plan or years of service conditions of the plan. If
your plan was not an eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan,
or if you have not attained the age or years of service required under
the plan to retire, you must determine the PA-taxable amount of your
distribution. You must use the cost recovery method to determine
this amount. See Page 9 for additional information.
13www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
IMPORTANT: If you are not sure whether your plan was an
eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan under PA tax law,
ask your plan administrator.
Code 3 or 4 Death/Disability Distribution
This is a distribution due to death and/or disability. Distributions
due to death or disability are generally not taxable for PA
purposes. However, if the distribution codes are Code 3D or Code
4D, these distributions are taxable to the extent they are taxable
for federal income tax purposes as interest income on Line 11 of
PA Schedule A.
Code 7 Normal Distribution
This distribution from an eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan
is not taxable if you met the plan requirements (the age and/or years
of service required by the plan) for retirement, and retired after
meeting those requirements.
CAUTION: Distributions from a commercial insurance or
mutual company annuity (Code D also included with Code 7)
purchased as a retirement annuity are not distributions from an
eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan and are taxable as
interest income to the extent they are included in federal gross
taxable income. 1099-R Code 7D distributions are taxable to the
extent they are taxable for federal income tax purposes as interest
income on Line 11 of PA Schedule A. See Annuities, Life Insurance
or Endowment Contracts beginning on Page 14 and the 1099-R
Filing Tips beginning below for additional information.
Code G or H Rollover
This is a rollover from one qualified fund to another and is not taxable
for PA purposes. See IRA Distributions on Page 14.
Box 8
Distributions listed in this box are distributions from an insurance
policy or annuity purchased for your retirement. Such distributions
are not taxable if: (1) your insurance policy or annuity was from an
eligible employer-sponsored retirement plan for PA tax purposes;
and (2) you retired after meeting the age or years of service
conditions of such eligible plan. If you do not meet these
requirements, the taxation of your distributions is based upon what
is taxable for federal income tax purposes. See Page 14 for
additional information. This distribution is taxable as interest on PA
Schedule A, not as compensation on Line 1a.
Box 9b
If an amount is entered in the total employee contributions box, it
may be used to determine the taxable amount of any distributions
when using the cost recovery method for PA personal income tax
purposes.
Boxes 14 and 15
If there is state withholding noted in Box 14 of the 1099-R and the
state indicated in Box 15 is PA, report the amount of PA tax withheld
on Line 13 of the PA-40. A copy of the 1099-R reporting the
withholding must be included with the return.
IMPORTANT: All copies of Form 1099-R must be included with
your return regardless of the amount of the distributions, the
distribution code or if any PA tax was withheld or reported in Box 14.
1099-R FILING TIPS:
1. If any forms 1099-R included with the return include distribution Code
1 in Box 7 of the 1099-R, some or all of the distribution may be taxable
for PA personal income tax purposes. In order to determine the
amount taxable, you must determine the adjusted basis in the plan.
Your adjusted basis is the amount of your contributions less all
previous distributions and/or loans not repaid to the plan. The total
distribution amount in Box 1 of the 1099-R less your adjusted basis
is taxable as compensation on Line 1a of the PA-40. Copies of W-2s
showing the amounts of your retirement plan contributions or a
statement from your plan identifying the amount of your contributions
may be required by the department as proof of your adjusted basis.
2. If any Forms 1099-R with distribution Code 2 in Box 7 are included
with the return, you must determine if the distribution is from an
eligible employer-sponsored retirement or pension plan for PA tax
purposes. Eligible plans must: be in writing; include provisions for
separation of service, old age or infirmity, and long-continued service;
provide for payments at regularly recurring intervals after separation
from service until death or an option for a lump sum payment; and
does not permit the distribution of program benefits to any employee
until termination of employment except for incidental disability benefits
or the return of the employee’s previously taxed contributions and
income or gains if the employee is required to contribute to the
pension plan. If these conditions are met, the distribution is not
taxable for PA personal income tax purposes. If the plan does not
meet these conditions, the distributions are taxable for PA personal
income tax purposes to the extent they exceed the contributions to
the plan using the cost recovery method. If the plan is not a PA eligible
plan, include the taxable amount in Line 1a of the PA-40. A written
copy of the plan should be obtained from all employers in the event
the department requests verification that the plan is a PA eligible plan.
3. If any Form(s) 1099-R included with the return are from a retirement
plan from the - State Employees’ Retirement System; Pennsylvania
School Employees’ Retirement System; Pennsylvania Municipal
Employees’ Retirement System; or U.S. Civil Service Commission
Retirement Disability Plan; the distributions are not taxable for PA
personal income tax purposes regardless of the distribution code in
Box 7 of the 1099-R.
4. If any Form(s) 1099-R included with the return are reporting a
conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA (or vice versa) with
distribution Code 1 in Box 7 of the 1099-R, you may be eligible to
report the amount as nontaxable income when a direct transfer from
trustee to trustee occurs and/or when the entire distribution from the
original IRA account (including taxes withheld) is paid into the new
IRA account within 60 days of the date of the distribution. In such
cases, the distribution is not taxable for PA personal income tax
purposes. If the distribution is not a direct transfer from trustee to
trustee, or the entire distribution is not paid into the new IRA account
as a result of the conversion of the original IRA account, the
distribution is taxable for PA personal income tax purposes to the
extent the amount not transferred into the new IRA exceeds the
adjusted basis (contributions less any previous distributions) of the
original IRA before conversion. Include the taxable amount of any
distributions in Line 1a of the PA-40.
5. If any Forms 1099-R included with the return include distributions
from an annuity purchased from a commercial insurance or mutual
company, an endowment contract or a charitable gift annuity and
have a distribution Code 7 or 7D in Box 7 of the 1099-R, the
distribution is taxable as interest income for PA personal income tax
purposes to the extent the distribution is taxable for federal income
tax purposes. In addition, any Forms 1099-R with Code D included
with any other code in Box 7 of the 1099-R, the distributions are
taxable as interest income for PA personal income tax purposes to
the extent the distribution is taxable for federal income tax purposes.
You must include the amount from Box 2 of the 1099-R for any
annuities or endowments on Line 11 of PA Schedule A. You must
14 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
report the amount from Box 2 of the 1099-R for any charitable gift
annuities on Line 12 of PA Schedule A.
6. If any Forms 1099-R included with the return are distributions from
an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that is deemed to be a
non-allocated stock dividend, the full amount of the distribution is
taxable as compensation. If the distribution is after the stock has been
allocated to the participants, the distribution is taxable as dividend
income for PA personal income tax purposes. Enter the amount of
the distribution on Line 8 of PA Schedule B with “Allocated ESOP
Stock Dividend” as the description.
7. If any Forms 1099-R included with the return include distributions of
excess contributions and earnings on the excess contributions
(distribution Codes 8 and/or P in Box 7 of the 1099-R), the
distributions are taxable for PA personal income tax purposes to the
extent there are earnings or excess employer contributions included
with the distribution. You must include a letter or other documentation
from your employer or plan administrator with your return that
provides the amount of excess employee contributions only. Include
any earnings on the excess contributions or any excess employer
contributions as taxable compensation on Line 1a of the PA-40.
8. If any Forms 1099-R included with the return include distribution Code
4 in Box 7 of the 1099-R, the amount in Box 1 of the 1099-R is
eligibility income for Schedule SP, Special Tax Forgiveness purposes.
The amount should be included in Section III, Eligibility Income, of
Schedule SP on Line 4, Insurance proceeds and inheritances.
9. If any Forms 1099-R included with the return are to a beneficiary from
a qualified joint survivor annuity reporting the distributions to the
taxpayer using Code 7 instead of Code 4 in Box 7 of Form 1099-R,
the amount in Box 1 of the 1099-R should also be included as
eligibility income for Schedule SP, Special Tax Forgiveness purposes.
The amount should be included in Section III, Eligibility Income, of
Schedule SP on Line 4, Insurance proceeds and inheritances.
10. If any forms 1099-R included with the return include a distribution
from an ESOP within a 401(k) (also known as a KSOP) other than a
rollover distribution, you must provide a copy of the plan document
with your PA-40 in order for the department to determine if the amount
of the distribution is taxable.
11. If any forms 1099-R included with distribution Codes 3, 6 or 7
(exclusive of Code 7 from annuities or endowment contracts
purchased by you from insurance companies or charitable gift
annuities) are included with the return, the amount of the distribution
is not taxable for PA personal income tax purposes and should not
be included in Line 1a of the PA-40.
IMPORTANT: If you have any 1099-R distribution amounts
reported as compensation on Line 1a of the PA-40, you must
include a schedule providing how the taxable amount was determined
and/or have the documentation available to support the amount of
adjusted basis for distribution Codes 1 or 2.
NOTE: Include any PA withholding reported in Box 14 of the 1099-
R in Line 13 of the PA-40.
IRA Distributions (60-day rollover rule)
If you received a distribution from an IRA (before age 59
1
/
2
and retiring)
and rolled the entire distribution (100 percent) into a Roth IRA directly, or
within 60 days, the distribution is not taxable income for PA purposes. If
you did not roll the entire distribution into another IRA, you must report
PA-taxable income to the extent the distribution exceeds your
contributions that is apportionable thereto.
IMPORTANT: If you retired, but did not reach age 59
1
/
2
, you must
report your distributions on a cost recovery basis until you reach
age 59
1
/
2
.
Annuities
If you received a distribution from an annuity that is not an employer-
sponsored retirement plan, see Annuities, Life Insurance, or Endowment
Contracts beginning on this page.
Review the instructions beginning on Page 26 to determine if you can
deduct expenses from your PA-taxable compensation. Follow the
instructions. PA law does not follow federal law for allowable employee
business expenses. EXAMPLE: You may deduct 100 percent of your PA-
allowable expenses on the PA Schedule UE. If claiming expenses on PA
Schedule UE, briefly describe your occupation or job in the space
provided. If your spouse also has expenses, describe his or her
occupation or job on a separate PA Schedule UE.
IMPORTANT: The department has the legal authority to request
evidence that your expenses are allowable for PA purposes.
Subtract Line 1b from Line 1a.
Report all PA-taxable interest income received or credited during the year.
Generally, Forms 1099-INT and similar statements from financial
institutions show the interest amount. You do not have to submit these
forms and statements. PA taxable interest income includes but is not
limited to interest income from personal savings and checking accounts,
insurance contracts, obligations of other states (not Pennsylvania), and
investments. See the instructions beginning on Page 30 for when to
complete and submit PA Schedule A.
Interest income from direct obligations of the U.S. government, the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and political subdivisions of
Pennsylvania is tax exempt. For a list of exempt obligations, obtain Tax
Exempt Obligations for Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax Purposes
(Form REV-1643) from one of the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
How to Classify Interest Income
You must classify interest, regardless of how you report the income for
federal purposes. Report personal interest on Line 2. Otherwise, include
interest:
From business accounts, working capital interest, and accounts
receivable in determining profit (loss) on a PA business schedule;
From installment sales on PA Schedule D-1; and
From rental security deposits in determining income (loss) on PA
Schedule E.
Money Market Funds, Mutual Funds
and Other Investment Companies
Include the earnings distributed to you (other than withdrawals of your
previously PA-taxed contributions) as dividend income on Line 3.
Annuities, Life Insurance or Endowment Contracts
If you invested in an annuity, including a retirement annuity that is not part
of an employer-sponsored retirement program, you may have PA-taxable
income when you begin receiving annuity payments. If you are required
to report an amount from an annuity for federal income tax purposes, you
LINE 1b. UNREIMBURSED EMPLOYEE
BUSINESS EXPENSES
LINE 1c. NET COMPENSATION
LINE 2. INTEREST INCOME
15www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
are required to report the amount as interest income for PA PIT purposes.
Also, if you are required to report an amount from a life insurance and
endowment contract for federal income tax purposes, you are required
to report the amount as interest income for PA personal income tax
purposes. Report any annuity, life insurance or endowment contract
amounts reported for federal income tax purposes as interest income on
Line 11 of PA Schedule A.
Charitable Gift Annuities
If you established a gift annuity to a charitable organization from which
you are receiving periodic payments, you have PA-taxable income.
Charitable gift annuities report their income as interest income on Line
12 of PA Schedule A using the amounts reported or included in gross
income for federal income tax purposes (ordinary income and capital
gains income) regardless of when they began reporting the income from
that charitable gift annuity. In the event that a charitable gift annuity is
exchanged or sold in the future, the PA basis in a charitable gift annuity
will be different from the federal basis for charitable gift annuities from
which payments began prior to Jan. 1, 2005. Income from the sale or
exchange of a charitable gift annuity is reported on PA Schedule D.
Forfeited Interest Penalty
You may offset the penalty for premature redemption or withdrawal of a
time savings account or certificate of deposit, only against the interest
income you received in the same taxable year from that account or
certificate. You cannot offset this penalty against other interest income. If
your total penalty exceeds the related interest income, you may report
the excess as a loss on PA Schedule D.
Report all dividend income received or credited during 2022. You do not
have to submit your Form(s) 1099-DIV and other statements. See
instructions for this schedule beginning on Page 31 for when to complete
and submit PA schedule B. You cannot substitute a Federal Schedule B
for PA Schedule B.
Capital Gains Distributions
Report capital gains distributions from your mutual funds from Box 2a of
your 1099-DIV as PA-taxable dividend income, even though you report
such distributions as capital gains on federal Schedule D.
How to Classify Dividend Income
You must classify dividend income, regardless of how you report the
income for federal purposes. Report personal dividends on Line 3.
Otherwise, include dividend income from business accounts and working
capital dividend income in determining profit (loss) on your PA business
schedule.
PA Resident Shareholders in Another State's S Corporation that is
not also a PA S Corporation
If you are a shareholder in another state's Subchapter S corporation, and
that corporation elected not to be treated as a PA S corporation, include
the cash or property you actually received out of the corporation’s
earnings and profits as dividend income on Line 3. If you received
distributions in excess of the corporation’s earnings and profits, report
these distributions on PA Schedule D. Do not report the amount of your
distributable income, and do not submit the federal Schedule K-1. A
shareholder may not claim a credit for income tax paid to another state
by an S corporation that elected not to be treated as a PA S corporation.
You must include nontaxable interest and dividends as Eligibility
Income on PA Schedule SP.
Under PA law, losses may only be reported on Lines 4, 5 and 6. If entering
a loss, fill in the oval next to the line.
REMEMBER: You may not offset income in one PA income class with a
loss in any other PA income class. You cannot carry forward or carry back
gains or losses to other tax years.
Spouses, whether filing jointly or separately, may not use each other’s
expenses to reduce income or offset each other’s income and losses.
If you are married, you and your spouse may file a joint tax return for
convenience only. PA law does not provide any advantage when filing a
joint return. PA law does not allow spouses to offset income and losses
with each other, even when both have activity in the same income class.
You must follow these rules:
1. If each realizes a net profit, gain, or income, add the net income
amounts together and report that total on the appropriate line.
2. If each realizes a net loss, add the net losses and report that total
on the appropriate line. Fill in the oval next to that line.
3. If one spouse has a net profit, income or gain and the other spouse
has a net loss, report only the net income on the appropriate line.
Do not take into account the spouse’s loss.
EXAMPLES:
Line 4. Mary and Ben file a joint tax return. Mary owned a flower shop,
and realized a net profit of $5,000. Ben was a shareholder in a PA S
corporation, and received a PA Schedule RK-1 reporting $35,000 of
business income. They jointly owned a small retail store and realized a
loss of $8,000. They report $32,000 on Line 4 from Mary’s net income of
$1,000 ($5,000 less her half of the $8,000 loss), plus Ben’s net income
of $31,000 ($35,000 less his half of the $8,000 loss).
Line 5. They sold the retail store for a $6,000 loss. Mary sold stock that
she owned individually for a $9,000 gain. Ben sold stock that he
individually owned for a $3,000 loss. On Line 5, they report a gain of
$6,000. Mary’s net gain is $6,000 ($9,000 less her half of the $6,000 loss).
Ben’s net loss is $6,000 (his $3,000 stock sale loss and his half of the
$6,000 loss on the sale of the store). Since Ben's separate loss may not
reduce Mary’s gain, they report a gain of $6,000 on Line 5.
Line 6. They jointly owned a rental property and realized a loss of $2,000.
Mary was a partner in a rental partnership and her share of the
partnership’s loss was $1,000. Ben’s PA S corporation realized a loss
from its rental operations. His share of the loss was $4,000. Mary's total
loss was $2,000 and Ben's total loss was $5,000. On Line 6, they report
the total loss of $7,000 (and fill in the oval) since they each individually
realized a total net loss.
PA-Taxable Income. On their jointly filed 2022 tax return, they report total
taxable income of $38,000: Line 4 of $32,000 and Line 5 of $6,000, not
taking into consideration their Line 6 loss of $7,000.
Submit the required Pennsylvania schedule for each amount you report
on Lines 4 through 8. Read the instructions for each income class
carefully. You can obtain the schedule(s) you need from one of the Forms
Ordering Services on Page 2.
CAUTIONS: A taxpayer and spouse may not report the income
from joint ownership of a business that is considered a qualified
joint venture for federal income tax purposes on a single PA Schedule C.

DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MUTUAL FUNDS
REPORTING NET INCOME, GAINS, AND

PA SCHEDULES
16 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
A taxpayer and the taxpayer’s spouse must each file a separate Schedule
C to report their shares of the income from a qualified joint venture. See
the PA Schedule C instructions for additional information.
If you do not provide the required schedules, the department will need to
request the missing information. Failing to provide schedules that the
department requires will delay the processing of your tax return and
therefore delay the initial date your return is considered to be complete.
PA Schedules RK-1 and NRK-1
These schedules show your share of income (loss) for each PA income
class. You report your share of income (loss), whether distributed or not,
in the same PA income class in which the entity realized the income (loss).
If you received any guaranteed payments, add those payments to your
share of income (loss) as shown on your Pennsylvania schedules. The
partnership, limited liability company or PA S corporation deducts all
allowable expenses and other allowable adjustments. If your partnership,
limited liability company or PA S corporation requires that you incur direct
business expenses, and the expenses are allowable unreimbursed
expenses for PA purposes, you must itemize them on a separate
statement. The department may require, at a later date, a copy of the
partnership or limited liability company agreement or articles of
incorporation that require the partner, member or shareholder to pay
expenses out of his or her personal assets. You cannot deduct any
personal expenses or expenses that you incur for your own convenience.
Copies of PA Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1 must be submitted for each S
corporation, partnership or limited liability company in which you are a
shareholder, partner or member. Copies of PA Schedules RK-1 and
NRK-1 must be submitted with all paper returns filed. Electronically filed
returns do not require the separate submission of these schedules as
they are electronically submitted with the electronic return. In cases where
a PA Schedule RK-1 or NRK-1 is not made available, federal Schedule
K-1 should be provided. Federal Schedules K-1 cannot be used to
prepare electronically filed returns as they cannot be electronically
submitted to the department. However, if the software product being used
supports the attachment of PDF files and the income reported on the
federal Schedule K-1 is converted to and reported by PA classification
rules, a federal Schedule K-1 can be used to prepare electronically filed
returns if the schedule and supporting statements are included with the
PDF attachment feature.
PA Resident Shareholder and/or Partner of an S Corporation or
Partnership from Another State
If you are a PA resident shareholder of an S corporation or a PA resident
partner in a partnership that does business entirely within another state,
the entity is also required to file a PA-20S/PA-65 PA S Corporation/
Partnership Information Return as a result of having a PA resident
shareholder or partner. You should receive a PA Schedule RK-1 from that
entity which you must submit with your PA-40 return to report your share
of the income (loss) whether distributed or not, as shown on your PA
Schedule(s). All the shareholders may also elect to not be taxed as a PA
S corporation by filing Form REV-976, Election Not To Be Taxed As a
Pennsylvania S Corporation. You or the S corporation can obtain this form
by using one of the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.
PA Resident Partner and/or Shareholder
If you are a partner in a partnership or a shareholder of a PA S
corporation, you should receive a PA Schedule RK-1. You must submit a
copy of each PA Schedule RK-1 and report your share of income whether
distributed or not as shown on your PA Schedule(s). If the partnership
does not provide a PA Schedule RK-1, you still must report and classify
the income (loss) from the federal Schedule K-1 according to the
instructions for each PA income class. You must also submit a copy of
your federal Schedule K-1 and related supporting schedules where
applicable that provide information as to the classification of the income
from the federal Schedule K-1.
Nonresident Partner and/or Shareholder
If you are not a resident of Pennsylvania, but are a partner in a PA
partnership or a shareholder of a PA S corporation, you should receive a
PA Schedule NRK-1. You must submit a copy of each PA Schedule NRK-
1 and report your share of PA-taxable income (loss) whether distributed
or not as shown on your PA schedule(s). If the partnership does not
provide a PA Schedule NRK-1, and the partnership has income (loss)
from PA sources, you still must report and classify the income (loss) from
your federal Schedule K-1 according to the instructions for each PA
income class. You must also submit a copy of your federal Schedule K-1
and related supporting schedules where applicable that provide
information as to the classification of the income from the federal

Schedule K-1. If the income (loss) is being reported to PA from a federal
Schedule K-1 and the income (loss) is not 100 percent of the amount
from the federal Schedule K-1, a schedule or written explanation should
be submitted along with the federal Schedule K-1 explaining how the
amount reported was determined.
IMPORTANT: If the partnership only provides a federal Schedule
K-1, you must classify the income or loss according to the
instructions for each PA income class.
CAUTION: Resident and nonresident partners and/or
shareholders who are not provided PA Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1
and who must use a federal Schedule K-1 to report income and losses
may have losses disallowed by the department. In addition, partnerships,
limited liability companies and S corporations that do not file PA-20S/PA-
65 PA S Corporation/Partnership Information Return may be subject to
penalties for failure to file such returns.
Report all income (loss) from business, farm, short-term rentals of less
than 30 days and business activity from partnership and PA S corporation
schedules. You may offset your own income in this class against your
own loss or losses from other business activities. If reporting a total net
loss, fill in the oval next to Line 4 on your PA-40.
For PA purposes, determine net income (loss) under accepted principles
and practices of the accounting profession. Report your net income (loss)
from an unincorporated business or profession on PA Schedule C. File a
PA Schedule C or a PA Schedule F using your separate books and
records for PA purposes.
CAUTION: You must use PA Schedule C to report income and
expenses from a business or profession or PA Schedule F to report
income expenses for a farm. Do not use federal Schedules C or F.
Generally, you must adjust your federal amounts for PA tax purposes.
These adjustments can increase or decrease your PA-taxable income
(loss). You must maintain appropriate records of such adjustments.
Additional information regarding income and expenses required to be
adjusted is available within the instructions for PA Schedules C and F and
in the PA Personal Income Tax Guide. You may also visit the department's
website at www.revenue.pa.gov to obtain detailed information about
federal and Pennsylvania differences and adjustments.
Reporting Rental Income (Loss) as Business Activity
on Line 4 or as Rents on Line 6
Rental activity may be a business activity if meeting the conditions
described below. If in business, report your net profit (loss) on a PA
Schedule C. If not in the business of rents, report your rental activity on
a PA Schedule E on Line 6. Report rental business when:
1. You offer the use of your property with the intention of realizing a
profit; and
2. The leasing of your property is characterized by regularity and
continuity of activities; and
3. You offer the use of your property on a commercial basis to others
in a marketplace and at least one of the following applies:
The average period of customer use is less than 30 days; or
The property is customarily made available for use only during
defined business hours; or
In addition to the property, the taxpayer also provides significant
services (see explanation below) to the lessee; or
The taxpayer incurs significant operating expenses in making the
property available for lease; or
The leasing activity is incidental to a real estate sales business.
Significant Services
Providing housekeeping service, room service, valet parking, decorating
assistance, delivery services, transportation services, and concierge
services are significant services.
However, providing heat, lighting, electric service, elevators, cleaning
public access and exit areas, collecting trash, and maintaining the
property in a usable rental condition are not usually significant services.
Include the net profit (loss) from short-term rentals recorded on
PA Schedule E, Line 21, with the net profits (losses) from all other
PA Schedules C and/or F and all business income amounts from
partnerships, PA S corporations or limited liability companies reporting
on PA-20S/PA-65 Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1 or federal Schedules K-1
on Line 4 of your PA-40 return.
Report your gain (loss) from the sale, exchange, or disposition of any kind
of intangible property and any real or tangible property. Report your share
of the gains (losses) from a partnership or PA S corporation in which you
are a member. Report your total net gains (losses) on PA Schedule D.
IMPORTANT: PA law does not distinguish between long-term and
short-term gains (losses) or have provisions relating to casualty
losses, sales to related parties, and nonrecognition of gains (losses) under
IRC Section 1031 (like-kind exchanges). PA law does not allow the
installment sale method of reporting for the sale of intangible property,
such as stock or goodwill.
You may offset your own net gains against your own losses in determining
this line. If married and you both have income (losses) in this class, see
REPORTING INCOME, GAINS, AND LOSSES ON LINES 4, 5, AND 6
on Page 15. If you realize an overall net loss, fill in the oval next to Line
5 on your PA-40.
On PA Schedule D, report gains (losses) from selling:
Land and buildings;
Properties held for investment, including rental properties;
Stocks and bonds;
Ownership interests in partnerships and business enterprises;
A business asset in a transaction that is not an ordinary or recurring
business transaction; and/or
Obligations of other states and countries.
Also, include the following on PA Schedule D:
Amounts from PA Schedules D-1, D-71, RK-1 and NRK-1.

are available on the department’s website.
Gains or losses from the IRC Sections 988, 1256, and 475 or from
straddles, hedges, options or other derivatives.
Loss on the Disposition of Property
PA law recognizes a loss only on a transaction entered into for profit, and
only in the year in which an identifiable event closed and completed the
transaction and fixed the amount of the loss so there is no possibility of
any eventual recovery. Do not report a loss on the sale of property that
you did not acquire for profit, such as a personal car, furniture, or a
qualifying sale of your principal residence.
Capital Gains Distributions
Report capital gains distributions received from mutual funds as PA-
taxable dividend income, even though you report such distributions as
capital gains on federal Schedule D. See Page 15 for more information.
Involuntary Conversions
Sales, exchanges or dispositions of property resulting from an involuntary
conversion (destruction in whole or in part, theft, seizure, or requisition
or condemnation or threat or imminence thereof) that are not required to
be reported for federal income tax purposes under IRC Section 1033 are
not required to be reported for PA personal income tax purposes on
transactions occurring after Sept. 11, 2016.
Exchange of Insurance Contracts
Do not report the gain (loss) on the sale, exchange, or disposition of any
insurance contracts that are tax-exempt for federal income tax purposes
under IRC Section 1035. Tax-exempt exchanges of insurance contracts
include:
An exchange of a life insurance contract for another life insurance
contract, an endowment contract or an annuity contract;
An exchange of an annuity contract for another annuity contract;
An exchange of an endowment contract for an annuity contract; and
An exchange of one endowment contract for another endowment
contract if the dates for payments begin on or before the original
contract’s payment dates.
If the exchange of contracts has the effect of transferring property to a
non-U.S. citizen, the gain or loss is not tax-exempt. If you receive cash
or other boot in an exchange of contracts, see the PA Personal Income
Tax Guide Net Gains or Losses from the Sale, Exchange or Disposition
of Property section for additional information.
Charitable Gift Annuities
See Page 15 for additional information on where to report income from
charitable gift annuities.
Exempt Obligations Originally Issued before Feb. 1, 1994
Do not report the gain (loss) realized on the sale, exchange, or disposition
of the following obligations, if the original issue date was before Feb. 1,
1994, regardless of the date you acquired the obligation:
Direct obligations of the U.S. government, such as federal treasury
bills and treasury notes;
Obligations of certain agencies, instrumentalities, and territories of
the U.S. government; and
Direct obligations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and its
political subdivisions.
IMPORTANT: You may not use any loss realized on the disposition
of the above obligations to offset other gains.
Exempt Obligations Originally Issued on or after Feb. 1, 1994
Report the gain (loss) realized on the sale, exchange, or disposition of
the above PA tax-exempt obligations, if the original issue date was on or
after Feb. 1, 1994.
IMPORTANT: You must report all such gains and can use any
losses to offset other gains.
Sale of Your Principal Residence
If you sold your principal residence in 2022 and meet the requirements
for the 100 percent gain exclusion, do not report the sale on your tax
return. This exclusion is not identical to the federal exclusion. Generally,
if during the five years preceding the sale of your home, you owned it for
at least two years, and used it as your principal residence for at least two
years, you are eligible for this exclusion.
If you used a portion of your principal residence for business purposes
during your ownership, you may have gain or loss to report on the sale.
For more information, request the brochure Sale of Your Principal Resi-
dence (REV-625) and PA Schedule 19, Sale of a Principal Residence.
Also see the PA Schedule D instructions beginning on Page 32.
CAUTION: If you sold your principal residence, but you do not
qualify for the exclusion, report your gain or enter zero if you
realized a loss on PA Schedule D.
Rental income includes the amounts you receive for the use of, or the
right to use, your real or personal property.
Royalty income includes the amounts you receive for the extraction of
coal, oil, gas, or other minerals in place, and the amounts that you receive
for the use of your patents, copyrights, secret processes, formulas, good-
will, trademarks, trade brands, franchises, and similar property.
If in the business of renting your property, you report your net profit (loss)
on a PA Schedule C. Please see Page 17, Reporting Rental Income
(Loss) as Business Activity on Line 4 or as Rents on Line 6.
Gross rents and royalties include all items of gross receipts as described
above except:
1. Receipts from the sale, exchange, or other disposition of rental,
royalty, and similar property; and
2. Receipts from operating an oil, gas, or mineral interest as a business,
profession, or farm, or otherwise derived in the ordinary course of,
and from the operation of, a business.
Report the total income (loss) from all PA Schedules E and all PA
Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1. Generally, you must use PA Schedule E. You
may use federal Schedule E, if using only Part I, and with the following
adjustments:
Report passive rental/royalty loss in full, rather than carry it over to
future years.
Add any capital gains and distributions that you report on other
federal schedules.
Do not take any depreciation expense on sales tax that you elected
to currently expense for PA personal income tax purposes.
LINE 6. NET INCOME OR LOSS FROM RENTS,
ROYALTIES, PATENTS, OR COPYRIGHTS
19www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
Optional: Deduct sales tax on acquired property as an expense
currently rather than add it to the basis of the property as required
for federal purposes.
IMPORTANT: If you currently expense such sales tax, the
basis of that property will differ from the federal basis, and you
must adjust your depreciation expense accordingly. You cannot
expense sales tax and still take depreciation on the sales tax. If you
do not expense sales tax, you may add such sales tax to the cost basis
of the property and depreciate the aggregate cost plus sales tax.
You must separately show your share of any rental or royalty gain
(loss) that you realize as a partner, a shareholder of a PA S
corporation, or other entity.
You may only offset your own net income and losses in determining the
amount to report on this line. If married and you both have income (losses)
in this class, see REPORTING NET INCOME, GAINS AND LOSSES ON
LINES 4, 5, AND 6 ONLY on Page 15. If you realize a total net loss, fill in
the oval next to Line 6 on your PA-40.
CAUTION: Generally, PA law follows IRC Section 280A if you rent
or lease your property, but do not intend to realize a profit.
Therefore, your rental expenses are limited to your rental income, and
you may not use a loss. If you rent or lease your property to realize a
profit, read the description of Reporting Rental Income (Loss) as
Business Activity on Line 4 or as Rents on Line 6 on Page 17 to
determine if you have a business activity that you should report on PA
Schedule C.
Rental and Royalty Allowable Expenses
You deduct those expenses that you paid or incurred during the taxable
year that are ordinary and necessary for:
1. The production of, or collection of, rents and royalties; or
2. The management, conservation, or maintenance of rents, royalties,
patents, copyrights, and similar property.
See the PA Schedule E instructions beginning on Page 33 for the
allowable expenses. You may not deduct expenses for your own labor,
capital investment, or capital improvements.
You recover costs associated with capital improvements through
depreciation deductions. You may not deduct personal expenses or that
part of any expense that is personal.
Rental Income (Loss) on Line 6 or Net Gain (Loss) on Line 5
Lease with an Option to Buy
A lease with an option to buy may be a purchase contract under
accepted accounting principles and practices. If it is, the payments
you received under the contract are payments of the purchase price
and are not includable as rental income. Report such income on PA
Schedule D.
Selling Mineral Interests, Patents, or Copyrights
If you gave up all rights to mineral interests, patents, or copyrights,
the amounts you received are considered payments for the sale or
exchange of property. Report such income on PA Schedule D.
As a beneficiary of an estate or trust, you report the total PA-taxable
income that the estate or trust must distribute, pay, or credit to you on PA
Schedule J. You cannot report a loss as a beneficiary for PA purposes.
CAUTION: You should receive a PA Schedule RK-1 and/or NRK-
1 from the estate or trust. If you received a federal Schedule K-1,
you must report only the total income, not taking into account any losses,
shown on the federal Schedule K-1. Add the total of income reported on
federal Schedule K-1 as interest, dividends, long-term and short-term
gains, annuities, royalties, trade or business income, rental income, etc.
If you included any of these amounts on a PA schedule, other than PA
Schedule J, adjust your PA schedule(s) accordingly. Include a photocopy
of the federal Schedule K-1 with your return for each nonresident estate
or trust and/or each estate or trust for which you fail to receive a PA
Schedule RK-1 and/or NRK-1.
Cash and property you acquire from an estate or trust by gift,
bequest, devise, or inheritance is not taxable. You must report any
PA-taxable income that you subsequently earn or receive from that cash
or property.
Revocable Trusts
The person (settlor) who establishes a revocable trust (including grantor
trusts that are revocable) does not file a PA-41 if, under the governing
instrument, he/she retains authority to:
1. Completely revoke the trust without the declaration of new uses or
the consent of any other party; and
2. Revest in himself/herself the legal title to the corpus of the trust,
without the consent of any other party.
If you establish a revocable trust, report the income (loss) that the trust
earns, receives, and realizes in the appropriate PA income class on your
PA-40 personal income tax return. Do not report the amounts on PA
Schedule J.
When submitting supporting schedules and statements showing the name
of the trust, write REVOCABLE clearly on the schedule.
Grantor Trust
A grantor trust generally files a PA-41. The beneficiaries of the trust,
including the grantor, if he/she receives income from the trust, report the
income as beneficiaries on their PA Schedules J.
PA law imposes its income tax on PA residents on all gambling and Lottery
winnings from any source, including cash prizes from playing the
Pennsylvania Lottery paid on or after Jan. 1, 2016. As a PA resident, you
must also include gambling and lottery winnings from other states and
countries. See the department’s website for additional information.
Nonresidents
PA law imposes its income tax on nonresidents on all gambling and lottery
winnings from PA sources, including cash prizes from playing the
Pennsylvania Lottery paid on or after Jan. 1, 2016. Nonresidents should
report only gambling and lottery activity that occurs in PA. Do not report
winnings or losses from wagers placed in any other state or country on
PA Schedule T.
Gambling and lottery winnings include cash, the value of property
(automobiles, jewelry, electronic devices, appliances, clothes, etc.), the
value of the use of property (trips, vacations, airline tickets, cruises, etc.),
and other items of value except noncash prizes of the Pennsylvania
Lottery. You may only deduct your costs of gambling, wagering, betting,
and playing lotteries from your winnings. You may not deduct any
expenses (programs, tip sheets, travel, meals, lodging, etc.) that you
incurred to take part in gambling, wagering, betting, and lottery activities.
LINE 7. ESTATE OR TRUST INCOME
LINE 8. GAMBLING AND LOTTERY WINNINGS

IMPORTANT: You may only deduct the cost of Pennsylvania
Lottery tickets from PA-taxable gambling and lottery winnings for
tickets purchased on or after Jan. 1, 2016.
Powerball and Mega Millions
If you purchase a Powerball or Mega Millions ticket in Pennsylvania,
whether a PA resident or not, any cash prize you win is taxable for PA PIT
purposes if the prize payment is made on or after Jan. 1, 2016. If you are
a PA resident and purchase a Powerball or Mega Millions ticket in another
state, any prize you win is PA-taxable income regardless of the date the
prize is paid.
Report your PA-taxable winnings on PA Schedule T. Spouses must report
their winnings separately. The payers of prizes provide the department
with copies of the federal Form(s) W-2G that they submit to the IRS.
Documenting Gambling and Lottery Winnings and Losses
Taxpayers claiming gambling winnings and losses must be able to
document their winnings and losses. This documentation should not be
included with your return, but may be requested at a future date by the
department. You should keep an accurate diary or similar record of
winnings and losses. In addition to a diary, you should have other
documentation to support the entries within the diary. Some but not all of
the documents that can be used to support gambling winnings and losses
include: federal Form W-2G, Certain Gambling Winnings; federal Form
5754, Statement by Person(s) Receiving Gambling Winnings; wagering
tickets; canceled checks; substitute checks; credit records; bank
withdrawals; and statements of actual winnings or payment slips provided
by the gambling establishment.
Some examples of the record keeping for slot or electronic gaming
machines may include a record of the machine number and all winnings
by date and time the machine was played as well as statements of actual
winnings, payment slips, or other documentation provided by the gambling
establishment. Record keeping for harness or horse racing includes a
record of the races, amounts of wagers, amounts collected on winning
tickets and amounts wagered on losing tickets as well as the tickets
themselves. For more information regarding other forms of gambling and
the record keeping and documentation to support gambling winnings and
losses, please see IRS Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions.
PA Withholding on Gambling and Lottery Winnings
PA personal income tax withholding is required for all Pennsylvania Lottery
cash prizes greater than $5,000 paid after July 12, 2016. In addition, many
of the casinos in Pennsylvania offer voluntary withholding of PA personal
income tax. If you have PA tax withheld included in Box 15 of federal
Form(s) W-2G, report the withholding on Line 7 of PA Schedule T. You
must also include a copy of your federal Form(s) W-2G with your return.
See the instructions for Line 13 on the next page for additional information.
Add only the positive income amounts from Lines 1c through 8. Do not
add, subtract, or take losses into consideration.
IMPORTANT: You cannot use a loss that you report in one income
class on your tax return to reduce income in any other class.
PA law allows four deductions against income. Deductions are allowed
for: Medical Savings Account contributions; Health Savings Account
contributions; IRC Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program contributions,
and IRC Section 529A Pennsylvania ABLE Savings Account Program

per taxpayer for IRC Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program contributions
for 2022. A taxpayer and spouse each may deduct $16,000 per
beneficiary. For additional information on deductions and limitations, see
the instructions for PA Schedule O on Page 36.

Educational Improvement, Opportunity Scholarship or Resource
Enhancement and Protection Tax Credits may not file a joint return and
are required to file separate returns.
The credits listed on PA Schedule OC are restricted credits meaning
taxpayers or entities must obtain special documentation authorizing the
use of the credits. Documents must also be sent to the Bureau of
Business Taxpayer Accounting, Account Maintenance Division so the
credit can be verified and applied to the taxpayer. Additional information
on restricted credits is available in the PA Personal Income Tax Guide
Deductions and Credits section found on the department’s website at
www.revenue.pa.gov.
Beginning tax year 2022, Pennsylvania residents who receive a credit
under section 21 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may claim a tax
credit against their Pennsylvania tax liability. In order to claim the
expenses on the PA Schedule DC, the taxpayer must also have claimed
the expenses on their Federal 1040 return.
The purpose of the PA-40 Schedule DC, Pennsylvania Child and
Dependent Care Enhancement Tax Credit, is to claim a credit for child
and dependent care expenses paid.
IMPORTANT: A completed copy of the federal Form 2441 and the
1040 Schedule 3 must be included with the filing of the PA-40
return. Failure to include these forms will result in the credit being
removed or deducted from Line 23 of the PA-40.

Use tax is the counterpart of sales tax and applies to taxable purchases
made over the Internet, through toll-free numbers, from mail order catalogs
and from out-of-state locations, or any other occasion where sales tax was
not charged and collected by the seller. When you purchase items or

services subject to sales tax for which the seller does not charge and
collect sales tax on the invoice or receipt, you are personally responsible
for remitting the use tax directly to the PA Department of Revenue.
The use tax rate is the same as the sales tax rate: 6 percent state tax,
plus an additional 1 percent local tax for items purchased or used in
Allegheny County and 2 percent local tax for Philadelphia.
Examples of taxable items include the following: antiques, paintings,
appliances, books, digital products, stationery, computers, exercise
equipment, sports equipment, formal clothing, furniture, furnishings,
jewelry, luggage, handbags, musical instruments, office equipment,
souvenirs, televisions, radios, stereo equipment, video equipment and
camera equipment.
Examples of taxable services include lawn care, pest control, self-storage,
building cleaning and maintenance services such as housekeeping
services. See the Retailer’s Information Guide (REV-717) for an
extensive, though not comprehensive, list of taxable items and services.
This method of reporting and paying use tax may not be used for
purchases of motor vehicles, watercraft, boats, ATVs, snowmobiles or
cigarettes.
You may use actual receipts or purchase records to calculate use tax
due. Taxpayers are encouraged to review purchase histories made
available online by popular Internet sellers and use that information to
calculate the tax due.
Receipts and purchase records should also be used for taxable items not
purchased online where sales tax was not charged by the seller and use
tax is due.
The Use Tax Worksheet on the previous page is included for your
convenience to help make your calculations. Note that you must use this
worksheet to calculate use tax due on individual purchases of $1,000 or
more.
If you paid some sales tax on items – for example, sales tax at a lower
rate paid to another state or sales tax paid to Pennsylvania but not
Philadelphia – you may offset your use tax liability by the sales tax already
paid using this worksheet.
IMPORTANT: If you do not have a use tax liability or used form
PA-1 to report and pay use tax, you must enter zero on Line 25.
The department reserves the right to assess additional use tax due if and
when it discovers evidence that the use tax liability reported on the PA-
40 is less than the actual liability.
Individuals and businesses with Pennsylvania sales tax licenses should
report use tax on their sales tax returns.
For detailed information on use tax reporting responsibilities and options,
visit www.revenue.pa.gov/usetax.
If the total of Line 12 and Line 25 is more than Line 24, enter the tax you
owe. You must pay the tax due, in full, on or before April 18, 2023. See
the instructions for payment options on Page 25.
Enter on this line all the penalties and interest you owe from filing your
return late and/or failing to pay your tax by the due date. If including Form
REV-1630, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals, or Form
REV-1630A, Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individual Farmers, fill
in the oval on Line 27 of the PA-40. Enter the appropriate code in the
block provided.
Descriptions of the code that can be entered in the block are as follows:
L If Late Payment Penalty and Interest, Failure to File Penalty and
Interest or Late Filing Penalty and Interest is included in Line 27;
E If only the Estimated Underpayment Penalty is included in Line 27;
B If both Late Payment Penalty and Interest and Estimated
Underpayment Penalty are included in Line 27;
X Indicates there is no Estimated Underpayment Penalty due to
Exception 2 or the Special Exception rules as indicated on the
completed and included REV-1630 or the exception for farmers on
the completed and included REV-1630A.
IMPORTANT: If you do not owe any penalty or interest, do not
complete the amount blocks for Line 27 – leave them blank. If there
is no amount included on Line 27 of the return, no code should be entered
in the block provided for the code on this line unless an REV-1630 is
included with the return that indicates there is no Estimated
Underpayment Penalty due to Exception 2 or the Special Exception rules
as indicated on the completed and included REV-1630 or REV-1630A is
included with the return indicating the individual meets the exceptions for
farmers. All returns with amounts listed on Line 27 should have a code
listed in the block provided for the code on this line. See the description
of the codes listed above for the proper code to enter when an REV-1630
or REV-1630A is included.
You can determine your penalty and interest by visiting myPATH at
mypath.pa.gov. Forms REV-1630 and REV-1630A are also available on
the department’s website or by utilizing one of the Forms Ordering
Services on Page 2 of the instructions.
Include on Line 27 any penalty for failing to make estimated PA income
tax payments, or making your payments late, or underpaying your
estimated taxes.
The department will send you a notice if you do not include an amount
on Line 27, and we determine you owe late filing and/or underpayment
penalty and interest.
Estimated Underpayment Penalty
You are subject to this penalty if:
1. You received more than $8,000 of taxable income that was not
subject to PA withholding;
2. Your credits from Lines 17, 21, 22 and 23 do not offset the tax due
on the income from item 1; and
3. You failed to make timely estimated tax installment payments to
cover the difference between items 1 and 2, if any.
If you are subject to the penalty, the penalty will not be imposed if:
1. Each estimated tax installment payment due and paid is equal to
the installment payment you should have paid based upon the
income from last year’s full year return, or based upon the income
as if you filed a full year return, based upon this year’s tax rate; or
2. Each estimated tax installment due and paid is equal to 90 percent
of the installment payment due for each quarter based upon the
income you received during the months in each installment period.
You can calculate this penalty on Form REV-1630 or Form REV-1630A
that you submit with your return. Submit the appropriate form with your
return if you owe the penalty.

The department will send you a notice if we determine you owe this
penalty. If you disagree with the department's notice, you must submit
Form REV-1630 or REV-1630A to support your own calculation or claim
for an exception.
Add Lines 26 and 27. Or, if the total of Line 12 plus Lines 25 and 27 is
more than Line 24, add Lines 12, 25 and 27 and subtract Line 24. You
must pay the total due, in full, on or before April 18, 2023. See the
instructions for payment options on Page 25.
REMINDER: If you owe $1 or less, you do not have to submit a payment
with your return.
If you overpaid your 2022 PA income tax, but owe estimated
underpayment penalty, you must subtract your estimated
underpayment penalty from your overpayment.
If you file your return by April 18, 2023 and are unable to make full
payment of the taxes due, the department will bill you for the remainder
of any tax, penalties and interest due. It is better to file your return when
it is due and have a 5 percent penalty plus interest added to the amount
you owe than to not file and not pay and have up to a 25 percent penalty
plus interest added to the amount you owe.
Subtract Line 12 (and subtract Lines 25 and 27, if you entered amounts
on these lines) from Line 24, and enter the difference here.
REMINDER: The department will not issue a refund for $1 or less.
However, a $1 overpayment may be donated to one of the donation
organizations listed on Pages 44 & 45.
Refund Offsets
PA PIT Liability. The department will apply your overpayment to
any outstanding PA personal income tax liability from a previous tax
year.
Delinquent Spousal/Child Support. Federal law requires
Pennsylvania to establish a child-support offset program. The
Department of Revenue, in cooperation with the Department of
Human Services (DHS), intercepts PA income tax refunds of
taxpayers that are delinquent in spousal/child support, and provides
the offsets to the PA Child Support Enforcement System.
IMPORTANT: A married person who is liable for spousal/ child
support must file a separate PA tax return (Married, Filing
Separately). If a married person who is liable for support files jointly
with his or her spouse, the department will delay the refund until the
taxpayers authorize the department to offset the refund to DHS, or
the spouses file separate returns. If the taxpayers do not reply to the
department's notice, the department will process the return as
Married, Filing Jointly.
Court-Ordered Obligations. The Department of Revenue, in
conjunction with the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts
(AOPC), will intercept overpayments and apply them to any court-
ordered obligation arising from a criminal prosecution or proceeding
and pay the amount to the clerk of courts for the county in which the
order was entered. All correspondence and inquiries regarding such
offsets must be with the county clerk of courts.
Treasury Offset Program for Delinquent PA Income Taxes. The
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will intercept federal income tax
refunds for delinquent PA income tax liabilities. The Department of
Revenue will notify delinquent taxpayers about its intention to
intercept their federal refund and allow them 60 days to pay their
liabilities.
State Income Tax Levy Program for Delinquent Federal Income
Taxes. The PA Department of Revenue will intercept PA income tax
refunds for delinquent federal income tax liabilities. The Department
of Revenue will provide a notice of the refund offset. The
department’s only responsibility in this levy process is sending your
refund to the IRS. Therefore, all correspondence and inquiries
regarding such offsets must be with the IRS.
If you do not enter amounts on Lines 30 through 36, or the total of these
lines does not equal Line 29, you will receive a refund check. If you
overpaid, you may apply all or part of your overpayment as follows:
LINE 30. Enter the amount of Line 29 that you want as a refund
check.
LINE 31. Enter the amount of Line 29 that you want as a credit to
your 2023 PA Estimated Tax account.
There are ten ways you can choose from to donate all or a portion of your
tax refund. However, you can only choose up to five ways in one tax year
due to space limitations on the PA-40. A code box has been included on
each of the Lines 32 through 36. You can select how you wish to donate
your refund using the following list of codes:
A - PA Breast Cancer Coalition’s Refunds for Breast and
Cervical Cancer Research Fund
B - Wild Resource Conservation Fund
C - Military Family Relief Assistance Program
D - Governor Robert P. Casey Memorial Organ and Tissue
Donation Awareness Trust Fund
E - Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes Cure Research Fund
F - PA Children’s Trust Fund
G - American Red Cross
H - Pennsylvania 529 College and Career Savings
Program Account
I - Pediatric Cancer Research Fund
J - Veterans’ Trust Fund

Review Your Return
Before you sign your return, did you:
Enter your Social Security number(s)?
Verify that your name(s) and address are correct?
Report all your PA-taxable income and claim all your allowable PA
credits?
Check all the entries from Form(s) W-2 and schedules?
Round income, loss, deductions and credit amounts to the nearest
dollar?
Check your math?
Enclose all required supporting forms and schedules and assemble
the return according to Page 4?
Make a copy of your PA tax return for your records?
Your Signature(s) and Date
Read the oath before you sign and date your return. If Married, Filing Jointly,
a spouse must also sign and date the return. If you are responsible for the
affairs of a minor, disabled person, or a decedent who could not prepare
his or her own PA tax return, you must sign to file a valid tax return.
E-File Opt Out
A paid preparer must fill in this oval if the taxpayer requested to file a
paper copy of the return instead of electronically transmitting the return.
If you are preparing your return yourself, do not fill in this oval.
Preparer/Company Name, Telephone Number, PTIN
and Firm FEIN
If you paid someone to prepare your tax return, the preparer should enter
his or her name or business name, telephone number, PTIN and the
company’s EIN in the spaces provided on the return.
For tax years beginning on or after Jan. 1, 2020, Act 13 of 2019 requires
tax return preparers to provide their PTIN on all returns they prepare.
Under the law, a tax return preparer is a person who is paid to prepare a
personal income tax return or who employs one or more persons who
prepare returns for compensation. Preparation of a “substantial portion”
of a personal income tax return shall be treated as if it were the
preparation of the return. If a tax return preparer fails to provide their
PTIN, the department may impose an administrative penalty of $50 for
each occurrence up to an annual maximum of $25,000 per year.
To obtain a PTIN, preparers should consult the PTIN Requirements for
Tax Return Preparers on the IRS website.

PAYMENT OPTIONS
26 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
For all schedules, enter the complete name and SSN of the taxpayer
reporting the income or claiming the expenses. If filing a schedule jointly,
enter the complete name and SSN of the taxpayer listed first. Each
taxpayer must submit a separate schedule for each separately owned
business, profession or farm. You and your spouse may file these
schedules jointly:
PA Schedules A, B and J - these schedules do not show any losses
or expenses.
You may no longer submit federal Schedule B even if you do
not have any Capital Gains Distributions and your amounts are
exactly the same for Pennsylvania.
You must use PA Schedules A and B. Spouses must submit
separate PA Schedules A and B unless all the income is joint
income.
You cannot submit a federal Schedule K-1 in lieu of PA Schedule
J.
PA Schedule SP – see the instructions beginning on Page 36 for
when to include this schedule.
PA Schedule O – see the instructions on Page 36 for when to
include this schedule.
If a joint return including IRC Section 529 Qualified Tuition Program
deductions for both taxpayers is filed, schedules reporting the
income on a separate basis for each taxpayer should be included, so that
the department may calculate the income limitations.
You and your spouse must file these schedules separately, each reporting
only your own income, expenses and net income (losses):
PA Schedule UE – a separate schedule for each employer or job.
PA Schedules C and F – separate schedules for each commercial
activity and each taxpayer.
PA Schedules D – must submit a separate PA Schedule D for you
and your spouse reporting income unless all the gains and losses
are joint.

Reproducing PA Returns and Schedules
You may not prepare your own facsimile schedules as replacements for
PA schedules.
Multiple Schedules
If you have multiple Schedules A, B, D, E, or J due to entries beyond the
capacity of the forms, include the total income for that form on one form
only.
Allowable employee business expenses for PA purposes are similar to,
but not the same as, expenses for federal purposes. PA law only permits
expenses required to perform the duties of a job or profession.
Allowable Pennsylvania Employee Business Expenses
Must Be:
1. Ordinary, customary, and accepted in the industry or occupation in
which you work;
2. Actually paid while performing the duties of your employment;
3. Reasonable in amount and not excessive;
4. Necessary to enable you to properly perform the duties of your
employment; and
5. Directly related to performing the duties of your occupation or
employment.
IMPORTANT: You may deduct 100 percent of your PA-allowable
unreimbursed employee business expenses. PA law does not have
federal expense and percentage accounting limitations and thresholds.
CAUTION: You may not deduct expenses based upon federal per-
diem allowances. You may only deduct those expenses actually
paid while performing the duties of your employment.
You did not incur an allowable business expense during the year if you:
Received a fixed-mileage allowance; a fixed expense reimburse-
ment amount; a daily, weekly, monthly or yearly expense allowance
reimbursement; or a per-diem allowance for the allowable business
expense and your employer did not include the allowance in your
compensation; or
Accounted for your allowable expenses to your employer and your
employer reimbursed you in the exact amount of your expenses.
Do not include such reimbursements in gross compensation. Do not claim
such expenses on a PA Schedule UE.
EXAMPLE: James is regional manager for a chain of retail stores and is
required by his employer to drive his personal vehicle and visit each retail
location within his region at least one time per month. James’ employer
reimburses him at a rate of $0.40 per mile and provides a lunch per diem
of $8.00 per travel day. James is not permitted to deduct a mileage
expense on his PA Schedule UE for the difference between the federal
PA SCHEDULE UE (LINE 1b)

allowance and his employer’s reimbursement or an expense for meals
while traveling to visit the retail locations within his region unless his
employer includes the reimbursements in his PA compensation.
If your employer does not reimburse you, you may reduce your
compensation by your allowable expenses. If your reimbursement is more
than your allowable expenses, you must report the excess as taxable
compensation on Line 1a.
EXAMPLE: Dave earned compensation of $30,000. He incurred
allowable vehicle and travel employee business expenses of $3,000, and
was reimbursed $3,500. He must complete a PA Schedule UE. He
includes the excess $500 as compensation. His total net taxable
compensation is $30,500.
Sole proprietors, partners, shareholders, or other self-employed
individuals should not use PA Schedule UE to claim expenses.
CAUTION: Nonresidents must use PA Schedule NRH to
apportion expenses for PA personal income tax purposes. A copy
of PA Schedule NRH may be obtained by using one of the Forms
Ordering Services listed on Page 2. Part-year residents may only claim
100 percent of unreimbursed business expenses if the expenses were
incurred only while providing services in Pennsylvania or while a PA
resident. Include a statement indicating the method used to determine
the expenses for the period of residency (PA Schedule NRH may also
be used for this purpose).
Pennsylvania Does Not Allow The Following Business
Expenses, Even If Allowed for Federal Purposes:
Personal, living, or family expenses
Dues to fraternal organizations, professional societies, Chambers
of Commerce, or recreational club memberships
Dues and subscriptions to publications, including trade and

You must file a separate PA Schedule UE for each employer and
each taxpayer. Spouses may not report joint expenses on a PA
Schedule UE, even if filing jointly. An incomplete schedule may result in
delays in the processing of your return and/or denial of the expenses.
You may wish to provide a copy of a letter from your employer verifying
that your expenses are required to be incurred to perform the duties of
your position and the method of any reimbursement by your employer for
those expenses. Form REV-757, Employer Letter Template, may be
completed by the employer for such purposes. In lieu of an employer
letter, you may also provide a copy of your employer’s employee expense
reimbursement policy. In addition, Form REV-775, Personal Income Tax
Employee Business Expense Affidavit, may be submitted if an employer
will not provide you a letter and the expense policy is not available. You
should also review the department’s Tips For Successfully Filing PA
Schedule UE (REV-489) and Unreimbursed Allowable Employee
Business Expenses For PA Personal Income Tax Purposes brochure
(REV-637) prior to completing your Schedule UE.
General Instructions

However, PA law does not have a similar provision. As a statutory
employee, you may have to claim your income as compensation and your
expenses on PA Schedule UE. For more information on statutory
employees see the PA Personal Income Tax Guide Gross
Compensation section found on the department’s website. As an
employee, you must claim your expenses on PA Schedule UE. If you are

CAUTION: Certain utilities, which are not subject to sales and use
tax when purchased exclusively for residential use, become
subject to sales and use tax when used for commercial purposes. If you
are including electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, or kerosene in your
calculation of home office expense, you should report use tax due on the
prorated expense amount. The use tax on these utilities should be paid
via the online Use Tax Return, or if you are required to file a sales tax
return, as part of that return. Please visit the myPATH website at
mypath.pa.gov to file the Use Tax Return or to register for a use tax
account if you have regular recurring use tax liability on utilities.
Section IV. Office or Work Area Expenses
You may claim these expenses when your employer does not provide
you with a suitable work area and you can answer YES to each of these
questions:
D1. Does your employer require you, as a condition of employment, to
maintain a suitable work area away from the employer's premises?
D2. Is this work area the principal place where you perform the duties of
your employment?
D3. Do you use this work area regularly to perform the duties of your
employment?
If your employer provides a suitable work area, or you answer one or
more of the above questions NO, you cannot claim any office or work
area expenses.
CAUTION: The department does not permit the use of the federal
safe harbor deduction for a home office or work area. Actual
expenses must be used to determine the amount of the deduction.

Section V. Moving Expenses
You may deduct moving expenses incurred to retain employment. You

obtaining employment. However, you must meet the Distance Test
described at the top of the next column.
You may deduct allowable expenses you incur in moving yourself, your
immediate family, your household goods, and your personal belongings,
including the cost of transportation to your new home, using your actual
out-of-pocket costs or the federal mileage allowance. You may deduct
expenses for storing household goods, for meals and lodging on the way,
including such costs on the day you arrive, and parking fees and tolls.
You may not deduct expenses for:
selling or purchasing a house;
breaking a lease; house hunting;
securing lodging prior to moving;
seeking new employment;
moving for your own convenience;
relocating to a new job or workplace less than 35 miles farther than
your old commute to work; or
moving anywhere other than within or into Pennsylvania.
Distance Test. Your new workplace must be at least 35 miles farther from
your old residence than your old workplace was. EXAMPLE: If your old
workplace was three miles from your old residence, your new workplace
must be at least 38 miles from your old residence. Measure the distance
using the shortest of the most commonly traveled routes. To determine if
you meet this test, complete Lines E1, E2, and E3.
IMPORTANT: If you are in the military, you do not have to meet
the distance test if your move is a permanent change of duty
station. If you, your spouse and dependents are moving to the new duty
station from different locations, you may claim all the allowable expenses.
18. Enter your actual allowable transportation expenses as previously
described.
19. Enter your actual qualifying expenses for travel, meals, and lodging,
as previously described.
20. Total Moving Expenses. Add Lines 18 and 19.
Section VI. Education Expenses
The federal and PA rules for educational expenses are similar, but not
exactly the same. For PA purposes, costs for education expenses that
you pay or incur are allowable only if:
The education is specifically required by law or by your employer to
retain an established employment status or rate of compensation;
and
The education is not part of a program that would qualify you for a
new occupation, trade, or business, even if you do not intend to enter
that new occupation, trade, or business.
Unlike federal rules, you may not deduct education expenses that you
incur to maintain or improve your skills.
EXAMPLE: Anthony is a licensed professional in a position that, by law,
requires a specific number of continuing education credits every other
year. If Anthony fails to obtain these credits, he will lose his license.
Anthony also takes courses in using a computer to improve his job
performance. Anthony may claim the cost of his continuing education
courses. He may not claim the computer courses.
30 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
You must answer question F1. If you answer YES, continue. If you answer
NO, you may not claim any education expenses. You must answer
questions F2 and F3. If you answer NO to both questions, continue. If
you answer YES to either question, you may not claim any education
expenses.

attend, and your specific course of study. Your education must meet the
requirements described above.
21. Enter the amount of tuition or fees you actually paid.
22. Enter the costs of your books and other materials required for your
courses.
23. Enter the cost of travel. Pennsylvania follows the federal rules for
travel expenses for education.

expenses by claiming that the travel itself constitutes a form of
education.
24. Total Education Expenses. Add Lines 21, 22, and 23.
Section VII. Depreciation Expenses
Depreciation is the amount you can claim over the useful life of property
you use in performing the duties of your employment. A depreciation
expense is allowable if the property:
Has a useful life exceeding one year; and
Is required to be regularly and predominantly used to perform the
duties of employment; and
Is required and not provided or supplied by your employer.
PA law allows generally accepted depreciation methods and current
expensing. PA law does not allow federal bonus depreciation. PA law
limits IRC Section 179 expensing. See DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PA
PIT AND IRS on Page 9. The department accepts most generally
accepted methods of calculating depreciation used for federal purposes.
Once you have elected a depreciation method, you must consistently use
it and may not change it without permission from the PA Department of
Revenue. For each asset, enter the depreciation method elected and the
expense.
Do not use Section VII to report all depreciation. Use Section II for
vehicles, and Part D for office or work area depreciation. Fair
market value of property is not an acceptable other basis.
25. Total Depreciation Expenses. Enter the total of columns E and F.
If your total PA-taxable interest income (taxpayer, spouse and/or joint) is
equal to the amount reported on your federal return and you have no

you do not have to submit PA Schedule A. If there are any amounts
(taxpayer, spouse and/or joint) for any of the Lines 2 through 15 (not
including subtotal Lines 4 and 10) of PA Schedule A, you must complete
and submit PA Schedule A with your PA-40. A taxpayer and spouse must

Lines 4 and 10). However, if all the income is earned on a joint basis, one
schedule may be completed. Complete the oval to indicate whether the
income included on the schedule is from the taxpayer, spouse or joint.

spouse, include only the taxpayer or spouse share of the income
for each line.
If your total PA-taxable dividend and capital gains distributions income
(taxpayer, spouse and/or joint) does not include any amounts for Lines 2
through 10 (not including subtotal Line 6) of PA Schedule B, you must
report your income on Line 3 of the PA-40, but you do not have to submit
PA Schedule B. If there are any amounts (taxpayer, spouse and/or joint)
for any of the Lines 2 through 10 (not including subtotal Line 6) of PA
Schedule B, you must complete and submit PA Schedule B with your PA-
40. A taxpayer and spouse must complete and submit separate schedules
to report their income if either have any amounts reported on Lines 2
through 10 (not including subtotal Line 6). However, if all the income is
earned on a joint basis, one schedule may be completed. Complete the
oval to indicate whether the income included on the schedule is from the
taxpayer, spouse or joint. When reporting the dividend income on a
separate PA Schedule B, a taxpayer and spouse must show their
separate share of dividend income from any jointly owned stock on each
PA Schedule B.
Capital Gains Distributions
Capital gains distributions are taxable as dividend income on Line 3. Do
not report capital gains distributions on PA Schedule D.
Stock Dividend Reinvestment Plans
Under a stock dividend reinvestment plan, you elect dividends in the form
of stock, rather than cash or other property. You must include the stock's
fair market value as dividend income as of the date paid.
PA-taxable dividend income does not include:
Dividends distributed by a corporation to its stockholders as stock,
if the distribution is not personal income for federal purposes.
Distributions designated as return of capital by utility companies and
other corporations that reduce the basis of your stock in the
corporation.
NOTE: Once such distributions reduce your basis to zero,
further distributions are Taxable Distributions from C
corporations on PA Schedule D. See Page 33.

savings and loan associations, mutual savings banks, cooperative
banks, and credit unions. Report these payments as PA-taxable
interest income on Line 2 of your PA-40.
Ordinary dividends paid by a mutual fund or a registered investment
company that the fund/company statement designates as being
exempt-interest dividends. Use the percentage of the total dividend
income that is from exempt PA and exempt federal obligations to
determine the tax-exempt portion of the dividend income.
Dividends from PA tax-exempt obligations. Request Tax Exempt
Obligations for Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax Purposes (Form
REV-1643) for a list of exempt obligations.
Dividends distributed under a charitable gift annuity are not taxable
dividend income for PA personal income tax purposes. However, dis-
tributions are taxable to the extent they are taxable for federal
income taxes purposes as interest income on PA Schedule A, Line
4.

and losses were realized on a joint basis, one schedule may be
completed. Complete the oval to indicate whether the gains and losses
included on the schedule are from the taxpayer, spouse or joint.
IMPORTANT: One spouse may not use a loss to reduce the other

each spouse must show his/her share of the sale on their separate PA
Schedule D.
Report all sales, exchanges, and dispositions of property using PA income
tax rules, and your PA income tax basis, in the year in which the

Summaries or groups of transactions as reported on brokerage
statements or summaries of the sales of stocks, bonds and other financial
instruments sold on the major financial exchanges on separately prepared
statements may be used in lieu of entering each sale, exchange or
disposition of property on PA Schedule D. All other transactions must be
entered separately on PA Schedule D.
If a brokerage or summary statement is used, a copy of the statement
must be provided with the return. Electronically filed returns will no longer
permit entry of an unlimited number of transactions. Brokerage or
summary statements of transactions will be required to be included as a
PDF attachment with the return or faxed to the department unless copies
of the brokerage statements are already included with the federal e-filed
return.
Unless the specific instructions require a different Pennsylvania schedule
or as previously noted, report each sale, exchange, or disposition of
property on PA Schedule D.
1. Columns (a) through (f)
(a) List and describe the property sold or otherwise disposed of for
cash or for other property.
(b) Enter the month, day, and year acquired. If you acquired
properties over time or if you are entering a summary line for
multiple transactions, you may enter VARIOUS.
(c) Enter the month, day, and year sold. If you are entering a

(d) Enter the gross sales price or fair market value of cash and
property received less the applicable expenses of sale.
(e) Enter the cost or adjusted basis of the property sold.
(f) Determine whether your property was either I or II, and follow
the appropriate instructions:
I. If your property was income-producing property, such as
stock, bonds, an ownership interest in a business, a rental
property, a patent or copyright, or you held your property in
connection with a business, profession, or occupation (but
not inventory or an operational asset), then:
Subtract Column (e) from Column (d). Enter either the gain
or the loss or zero in Column (f).
II. If your property was other than income-producing property
(a personal automobile or furniture), then:
If the adjusted basis is less than or equal to Column (d),
enter the gain or zero in Column (f).
If the adjusted basis is greater than Column (d), enter zero
in Column (f). You cannot report a loss on the sale of
personal property.
IMPORTANT: You may only deduct losses from
transactions you entered into for profit. Indicate a
loss by filling in the oval.
CAUTION: For taxpayers reporting the sales of exempt
obligations:
DO: Include the issue or DTD date of the exempt obligation in the
description of the items sold.
DO NOT: Include the sales of any PA tax-exempt obligations issued prior
to Feb. 1, 1994. See Page 18 of the instructions for additional information
regarding exempt obligations.
Oil and Gas Pipeline or Well Access Easements and Right of Ways
Payments received for permanent right of ways and easements as well
as express easements (15 years or longer in length) are considered a
sale of a portion of the landowner’s property. The percentage of square
footage of the land included in the permanent easement or right of way
to the total square footage of the entire property (pro-rata method)
multiplied by the total adjusted basis of the land (or any other reasonable
method for determining basis of the property) should be used in
determining the gain or loss on the property. If any method other than the
pro-rata method is used, approval for use of the alternative method must
be obtained from the Department of Revenue’s Office of Chief Counsel
prior to filing the return.
2. Net Gain (Loss). Total Column (f) and enter the net amount. You
may offset gains (losses) for Line 2.
3. Gain from Installment Sales. Enter your taxable gain from each
PA Schedule D-1, Form REV-1689, Computation of Installment Sale
Income.
CAUTION: You may not elect the installment sales method
for:
Reporting gains from the sale of intangible personal property,
such as stocks, bonds, partnership or other ownership interests;
or
Reporting transactions where the object is the lending of money
or the rendering of services.
4. Taxable Distributions from C Corporations. As a shareholder in
a C corporation, you must report as taxable gain the excess of the
fair market value of a distribution (other than a dividend) in excess
of current or accumulated earnings and profits over your adjusted
basis of your stock. You must decrease the basis of your stock or
shares, but not below zero, by any distribution that is not taxable as
a dividend on Line 3 of your PA-40. EXAMPLE: B Corp distributes
from its capital account $100,000 to Karen, the only stockholder. Her
adjusted basis in her stock is $75,000. The distribution is not from
the C corporation’s earnings and profits, so it is not a taxable
dividend. Karen must reduce her basis from $75,000 to zero. She
reports $100,000 on the Enter total distribution line, and $75,000 on
the Minus adjusted basis line. She reports the remaining $25,000
as a gain on Line 4 of her PA Schedule D.
5. Net Gain (Loss) from the Sale of Property acquired before June
1, 1971. Determine your gain (loss) on the sale of June 1, 1971
property on Form REV-1742, PA Schedule D-71.
6. Net Partnership and PA S Corporation Gain (Loss). Report the
taxable gain or loss from your PA Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1. If PA
Schedules RK-1 or NRK-1 are not provided, enter the amount from
the federal Schedule K-1. Include a statement providing the entity
name and FEIN along with the gain (loss) by entity if gain (loss) from
any pass-through entity is reported on this line.
7. Taxable Gain from the Sale of Your Principal Residence. PA law
excludes the qualifying gain from the sale of your principal residence.
Generally, if you owned and used property as your principal residence
for at least two of the five years preceding the sale, your gain is
exempt. However, you must report a gain if you do not meet the
requirements. For more information request the Sale of Your Principal
Residence brochure (REV-625). If you do not qualify to exclude the
gain from the sale of your principal residence, report your taxable gain,
if any, on this line. If you realized a loss from the sale of your principal
residence, enter a zero. If you used any portion of your principal
residence for business or rental purposes, you must complete and
submit PA Schedule 19 with your return. Report the gain or loss on

PA SCHEDULE E (LINE 6)
34 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
of real estate held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of your
real estate sales, and/or from your business of renting other personal
property on PA Schedule C. See Reporting Rental Income (Loss) as
Business Activity on Line 4 or as Rents on Line 6 on Page 17 for additional
information.
Sales Tax License Number
Property owners who rent their property for rental periods of less than 30
days are required to obtain a sales tax license number in order to collect
and remit the hotel occupancy tax. If the taxpayer collects and remits
hotel occupancy tax on short-term rentals of less than 30 days, enter the
Pennsylvania Sales Tax License Number used to collect and remit the
tax. If a home-sharing website or third party broker, such as a local real
estate management company, collects and remits the hotel occupancy
tax, complete the “Yes” oval as the answer to the Third Party Broker
question and include the third party broker’s sales tax license number.
Third Party Brokers
If payment of the rent or lease payment is not made directly to the owner
of a property but is made by the lessee to a home sharing website or third
party broker, such as a local real estate management company, complete
the “Yes” oval.
Section I. Property Description.
Type. Enter the property type code from the list of codes provided on
Schedule E. Enter one code only. Additional information regarding the
codes for each type of property is as follows:
Code 1, single-family residence. Enter when the rental period on a
single-family residence is 30 days or more.
Code 2, multi-family residence. Enter when the rental period on a
property containing multiple living units is 30 days or more.
Code 3, vacation/short-term rental. Enter when the rental period on
a single or multi-family residence or commercial property is less than
30 days. If the property is located in Pennsylvania, you must also
collect and remit hotel occupancy tax on the fair market value of the
rental. See Line c instructions for additional information.
Code 4, commercial. Enter when the rental period on real estate
rented to businesses or organizations is for 30 days or more.
Code 5, land. Enter when the property being rented is land.
Code 6, royalties. Enter when reporting income resulting from royalty
payments, bonus payments, and damage rents from oil and gas and
other mineral extractions or from other royalty payments received
from other types of property.
Code 7, self-rental. Enter when renting property other than real
estate rented to a trade or business in which there is material
participation by the owner.
Code 8, other. Enter when the property is not one of the other types
listed above. Enter a brief description of the property in the space
provided on the form or include a statement with the return
describing the property.
Description of Property and Complete Address. Enter a brief
description that provides additional detail to the type of property rented.
Include the property or building name, property or building number or any
other description that distinguishes the property from similar property. For
rental real estate, enter the street address, city or town, state, and ZIP
code. Indicate whether the property is for-profit property or not. PA law
generally follows the IRC Section 280A when you rent or lease property,
such as a vacation home, and do not intend to realize a profit. You may
only deduct your rental expenses up to your rental income, and you may
not use a loss to reduce other rental income. If you rent or lease your
property to realize a profit, but do not operate the rental property as a
business activity, you may offset losses against other rental or royalty
income. For oil and gas royalties, enter the name of the oil and gas
producer paying the royalties for each 1099-MISC received. For all other
patent, copyright, or similar property or any other tangible personal rental
property, enter the type of property and source of the income.
IMPORTANT: If the property is located in another state or country,
you must include the complete address of the property in the
address field.
Section II. Income and Expenses
Line a. Indicate the ownership of the property: (T) = Primary taxpayer
shown first on the PA-40; (S) = Spouse; or (J) = Joint
ownership.
Line b. Fill in the “Yes” oval if the property is located within
Pennsylvania. Otherwise, fill in the “no” oval.
Line c. Rental properties with property type 3 typically have rental
periods less than 30 days and require additional
considerations regarding the class of income in which they
should be reported. If the rental of the property includes
additional services being provided to the renters such as
those provided with a bed and breakfast, the rental contract
is procured through an online short-term rental site or the
vacation property rental period by a renter is less than 30
days, complete the “yes” oval and report the net income or
loss for such properties on Line 21 and include the amount
on Line 4 of the PA-40.
Rental properties with property types 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 and 8, or a
vacation property with a rental period by the same renter for
30 days or more, are classified as rents. Complete the “No”
oval and report the net income or loss for such properties on
Line 22.
CAUTION: If any property has rental periods of less
than 30 days and the same property has rental periods
of 30 days or more, enter the property as two separate
properties on Schedule E and provide the income and
expenses for each rental period length.
Income
1. Rent received. Enter the gross rent from the rental of real estate or
other tangible personal property (including personal property leased
with real estate) you held for investment or speculation. Include
income received for renting a room or other space. If you received
services or property as rent, report the fair market value of such
services or property as rental income.
2. Royalties received. Enter the gross royalties from oil, gas, mineral
properties, and other property. Oil and gas royalty payments
received from mineral rights located under a farm are not considered
farm income and should be reported on PA Schedule E.
CAUTIONS: Property damage reimbursement resulting from the
construction of temporary structures such as staging areas is
taxable as rental income on Schedule E. Most contracts require the lessor
to mitigate damage and restore the property to its original condition, thus
no “damage” actually occurs. Payments received for the granting of a
permanent right of way or an express easement of 15 years or more
should be reported on Schedule D as a gain of the sale or disposition of
property. Otherwise, payments received for temporary access to another
property for a temporary easement or right of way are included as rental
income. Report the amount of royalty income from oil and gas leases
separately from any rental income for the same property. When reporting
35www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
royalty income, use the gross amount reported to you on federal Form
1099-MISC.
Expenses
Enter your rental and royalty expenses for each property. You can deduct
all ordinary and necessary expenses. Do not deduct the value of your
own labor or amounts paid for capital investments or capital
improvements other than through depreciation.
Oil and Gas Royalty Expenses
Royalty income is derived from subsurface mineral or oil and gas rights.
As a result, the expenses that relate to surface rights, such as real estate
taxes and insurance are not allowable against royalty income. Mortgage
interest is only allowable if the interest relates directly to the financing of
the separately enumerated mineral or oil and gas rights. Expenses that
relate directly to the production of royalty income, such as production
costs payments and costs related to the negotiation or verification of the
lease, are allowable. Direct reductions to payments from the lessor, such
as production costs, transmission costs or gathering fees, are allowable
and should be itemized under Line 17, Other Expenses.
Expenses incurred by a landowner to restore a property damaged by
staging areas, rights of way or structures are allowable expenses.
However, expenses incurred by a landowner to improve the property or
increase its value are not allowable.
CAUTION: Depletion, specifically percentage depletion, is not an
allowable expense for PA personal income tax purposes. Although
cost depletion may be allowable, it requires that the landowner has clearly
identifiable costs incurred with the acquisition of the mineral or oil and
gas rights. These specific costs are not included within the general
acquisition costs of the surface and must be separately enumerated in a
purchase agreement in order to clearly identify the depletable amount of
oil and gas rights from the property.
IMPORTANT: Renting Part of Your Home. If you rent out only
part of your home or other property, deduct only those expenses
(or percentages of expenses) that apply to the rented part.
3. Advertising
4. Automobile and travel. Deduct ordinary and necessary auto and
travel expenses related to your rental activities, including 100 percent
of meal expenses incurred while traveling away from home.
Pennsylvania differs from federal treatment on the meals and
entertainment expense. You generally can either deduct your actual
expenses or take the standard federal mileage rate.
5. Cleaning and maintenance
6. Commissions
7. Insurance
8. Legal and professional fees
9. Management fees
10. Mortgage interest. If you have a mortgage on your rental property,
enter the amount of interest you paid for the current year to banks
or other financial institutions.
11. Other interest. Generally, to determine the interest expense
allocable to your rental activities, you must have records to show
how the proceeds of each debt were used. Pennsylvania does not
follow federal rules regarding prepaid interest.
12. Repairs. Deduct the cost of repairs made to keep your property in
good working condition. Repairs (fixing a broken lock or painting a
room) generally do not add significant value to the property or extend
its life. Improvements that increase the value of the property or
extend its life (such as replacing a roof or renovating a kitchen) must
be capitalized. You cannot expense such costs in full in the year paid
or incurred.
13. Supplies
14. Taxes. Deduct taxes directly related to the rental activity. Deduct the
proportionate share of real estate taxes. You may not deduct taxes
based on income. You may deduct gross receipts and business
privilege taxes.
15. Utilities. Deduct the cost of ordinary and necessary telephone calls
related to your rental activities or royalty income. However, the base
rate (including taxes and other charges) for telephone service for
the first telephone line into your residence is a personal expense
and is not deductible.
CAUTION: Certain utilities, which are not subject to sales and
use tax when purchased exclusively for residential use,
become subject to sales and use tax when used for commercial
purposes. Commercial purposes includes rental property owned by
an individual and held out for rent by another individual or business.
Exceptions include properties with separate metering for rental units
and common areas where the common area utilities are included as
used for commercial purposes and the rental unit property is
residential rental property when the utilities are paid for by the
tenants. If you are including electricity, natural gas, fuel oil, or
kerosene in your calculation of utilities expense and the property is
not listed as commercial property with the utility company or as a
commercial entity with the fuel oil or kerosene supplier, you should
report use tax due on the related expense amounts for these utility
expenses. The use tax on these utilities should be paid via the online
Use Tax Return, or if you are required to file a sales tax return, as
part of that return. Please visit the myPATH website at
mypath.pa.gov to file the Use Tax Return or to register for a use
tax account if you have regular recurring use tax liability on utilities.
16. Depreciation expense. See DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PA PIT
AND IRS on Page 9. You may use any other generally accepted
depreciation method, but you must use it consistently.
17. Other expenses. Include any production costs, transmission costs
or gathering fees taken as a direct deduction by the lessor from
royalty payments. Please itemize.
18. Total Expenses. Add Lines 3 through 17.
19. Income. Subtract Line 18 from Line 1 or 2.
20. Loss. Subtract Line 1 or 2 from Line 18, and fill in the oval.
NOTE: PA law does not permit losses from property rented
where there is no intent to realize a profit.
21. Net Income (Loss). For all properties answering “Yes” to Section
II, Line c, add the amounts for Lines 19 and 20. If a net loss, fill in
the oval. Include the amount on Line 21 along with any other net
income or loss amounts from Line 1 of all Schedule(s) RK-1 or NRK-
1 for PA S corporation(s), Line 1 and Line 12 of all Schedule(s) RK-1,
Line 1 and Line 10 of all Schedule(s) or NRK-1 for partnerships, Line
39 of PA Schedule(s) C and/or Line 41 of PA Schedule(s) F on Line
4 of the PA-40.
CAUTION: If any property has rental periods of less than 30
days and the same property has rental periods of 30 days or
more, enter the property as two separate properties on Schedule E
and provide the income and expenses for each rental period length.
22. For all properties answering “No” to Section II, Line c, add the
amounts for Lines 19 and 20. If a net loss, fill in the oval.
36 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
NOTE: Pennsylvania does not follow federal At-Risk Rules
or Passive Activity Loss Rules.
23. Rent or Royalty Income (Loss) from PA S Corporations and
Partnerships. For Line 23, enter the rent and royalty income (loss)
amounts from your PA Schedule(s) RK-1 or NRK-1. If PA Schedules
RK-1 or NRK-1 are not provided, enter the amount from the federal
Schedule K-1. Include a statement providing the entity name and
FEIN along with the income (loss) by entity if rent or royalty income
(loss) from any pass-through entity is reported on this line.
24. Net Rent and Royalty Income (Loss). Add Lines 22 and 23. Include
the total on Line 6 of your PA-40.
IMPORTANT: For Lines 21 and 24, amounts reported on Lines 4
and 6 of the PA-40 filed using the Married, Filing Joint filing status
must be calculated separately. If a taxpayer and spouse are reporting
income and losses, a taxpayer’s income may not be offset by a spouse’s
loss and vice versa. All joint income and losses must be split equally when
calculating net income (loss) for the taxpayer and spouse. If both the
taxpayer and spouse have net income or both have net loss from all
income sources (including PA S corporations and partnerships) the
amounts may be added together for the taxpayer and spouse and the
result entered on Line 4 or 6 of PA-40. If the taxpayer has net income and
the spouse has a net loss (or vice versa), the net income amount
separately calculated for the taxpayer or spouse must be entered on Line
4 or 6 of the PA-40.
As a beneficiary of an estate or trust, you should receive a PA Schedule
RK-1 and/or NRK-1. Report the total income that you received or that the
estate or trust credited to you. For PA income tax purposes, an estate or
trust cannot distribute a loss.
Enter the name, identification number, and amount of PA-taxable income
from each PA Schedule RK-1 or NRK-1. Check the box on the schedule
to indicate if the estate or trust income you are reporting is received from
a PA resident estate or trust as reported on a PA Schedule RK-1 or NRK-
1. Do not check this box if you use a federal Schedule K-1 to report the
income. If you only receive a federal Schedule K-1, enter the total amount
of positive income reported, whether the income is your income, your
spouse’s income, or your joint income. Include a photocopy of the federal
Schedule K-1 with your return for all nonresident estates or trusts and/or
each estate or trust for which you fail to receive a PA Schedule RK-1 or
NRK-1.
Include any nonresident withholding reported on Line 6 of a PA-
41 Schedule NRK-1 in Line 17 of the PA-40, Personal Income Tax
Return. When nonresident withholding from an estate or trust is included
in Line 17, you must also provide a copy of the PA-41 Schedule NRK-1
with the PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return.
CAUTION: The federal amount may not be correct for PA
purposes. You should contact the fiduciary of the estate or trust to
verify the correct PA income.
IMPORTANT: Grantor or irrevocable trusts do not distribute losses
as trust income. Therefore, all amounts for PA Schedule J should
be positive.
The instructions for PA Schedule T are on the schedule. Also, please see
Page 19 LINE 8, GAMBLING AND LOTTERY WINNINGS for more
information.

What is Tax Forgiveness?
Tax Forgiveness is a credit that allows eligible taxpayers to reduce all or
part of their PA tax liability. Tax Forgiveness:
Gives a state tax refund to some taxpayers; and
Forgives some taxpayers of their liabilities even if they have not paid
their PA personal income tax.
Who is Eligible for Tax Forgiveness?
You, and your spouse if applicable, are eligible if:
1.
You are subject to PA personal income tax. You and/or your spouse
are liable for PA tax on your income (or would be liable if you earned,
received, or realized PA-taxable income);
2.
You are not a dependent on another person's federal tax return; and
3.
You meet the eligibility requirements.
NOTE
: A dependent child may be eligible if he or she is a
dependent on the PA Schedule SP of his or her parents,
grandparents, or foster parents. See
Pages 38 and 39.
How Do I Claim Tax Forgiveness?
To claim Tax Forgiveness, complete and submit a PA Schedule SP, and:
1.
Determine your Eligibility Income. If married, whether filing jointly or
separately, you must determine your total (your Eligibility Income
plus your spouse’s Eligibility Income) joint Eligibility Income in
Section III
.
2.
Determine your Filing Status in
Section I
.
3.
Calculate your Tax Forgiveness Credit, using the applicable Eligibility
Income Table, in
Section IV
.
IMPORTANT:
There is no advantage to filing separately because
married claimants must report their Joint Eligibility Income on PA
Schedule SP. You must include your spouse’s
SSN
if filing separate.
Claiming Dependents on Separate PA Schedules SP
It is possible that you and your spouse file jointly for federal purposes,
but must file separately for PA purposes. If you qualify for Tax
Forgiveness, you must each complete PA Schedule SP as if filing jointly.
You each must report the same information including dependents and
your joint eligibility income. You must fill in the Married and Filing Separate
oval in
Section I of each PA Schedule SP. You must each submit a copy
of the PA Schedule SP with your PA tax return.
Section I
. Filing Status
Fill in the oval that describes your status as of Dec. 31,
2022
.
Unmarried means single, widowed and could not or did not elect to file
a joint return in the year of death of the taxpayer and/or spouse, or
divorced on Dec. 31,
2022
.
Separated means:
Separated and living apart at all times during the last six months of
2022
; or
Separated pursuant to a written separation agreement.
Married
means:
Married and lived together; or
Separated and lived apart, but for less than the last six months of
2022
; or
Separated, but not by a written separation agreement; or
Elected to file a joint return in the year of death with a deceased
taxpayer and/or spouse.
Also, fill in the correct oval for your specific filing condition.
When claiming Tax Forgiveness together, one of you must meet the
eligibility requirements, but you must use your Joint Eligibility Income and
Eligibility Income Table 2.
When filing separately, the taxpayer and spouse must combine their
eligibility incomes to determine if they meet the eligibility requirements. A
married taxpayer cannot claim Tax Forgiveness independently of his or
her spouse. Married claimants are not dependents of one another for Tax
Forgiveness purposes, even when one spouse does not have any
Eligibility Income. You each must use your Joint Eligibility Income and
Eligibility Income Table 2, and fill in the oval and certify that you are using
the same information for PA Schedule SP.
When one spouse is claimed as a dependent on another person’s federal
income tax return, otherwise qualifying married taxpayers must file
separately.
EXAMPLE:
Scott is a dependent on his parents’ federal income tax return
and is not eligible for Tax Forgiveness. His wife, Paula, is not a dependent,
and may complete PA Schedule SP. Paula may not claim Scott as a
dependent, but must include his Eligibility Income when calculating her
Total Eligibility Income. Additionally, if Scott’s parents qualify for Tax
Forgiveness, Scott may also qualify if he included Paula’s income in his
Total Eligibility Income.
Deceased means you are filing for a person who died during
2022
and/or
the deceased person’s surviving spouse or deceased spouse could not
or did not elect to file a joint return with the deceased taxpayer.
Annualization of a deceased taxpayer and/or spouse’s income may be
required in order to determine total eligibility income for Tax Forgiveness
purposes.
Annualization of Income
In order to annualize a taxpayer’s income, you may use the income
realized by the decedent, divided by the number of days or months the
taxpayer lived and multiplied by 365 days or 12 months. Subtract from
that product the amount of realized income and include the remainder in
the amount reported on Line 2 of
Section III
for PA Schedule SP. One
time transactions, such as those from the sale of stock or real property,
need not be included when determining the amount of the daily or monthly
income for a decedent.
When determining the amount of annualized income, you may also base
the total eligibility income on the prior year’s return if the individual was
eligible for Tax Forgiveness, received approximately the same income
during this taxable year and did not have any transactions that were
different from the previous tax year. The department will accept a
reasonable calculation of the decedent’s annual Eligibility Income.
PA SCHEDULE SP (LINE 21)
38 www.revenue.pa.govPA-40
EXAMPLES: Jerry and Pat have been married for 50 years and Jerry
dies on October 1 of the most recent tax year. Pat elects to file a joint
return with her deceased spouse. Jerry worked as a custodian for a local
school to supplement their social security income and died while still
employed. Jerry and Pat also had joint interest and dividend income
during the tax year. Jerry’s compensation income must be annualized
and the amount Jerry might have earned for the remaining three months
of the tax year must be included on Line 2 in Section III of PA Schedule
SP. Because Pat is electing to file a joint return, the interest and dividend
income from the joint ownership of the assets is not required to be
annualized. If the surviving spouse (Pat) or Jerry’s estate elects to file a
separate return, Jerry’s return would need to include annualized income
from the interest and dividend classes of income in addition to the
annualized compensation income.
IMPORTANT: Surviving spouses should not include any income
in respect of a decedent, income that should be included on the
estate tax return, or any income of the deceased taxpayer (including the
decedent’s half of any joint income received prior to the decedent’s date
of death) in the taxable income or in the calculation of the eligibility income
of the surviving spouse when a separate return is filed by the surviving
spouse.
Students
A full-time student who is a dependent on his/her parents’ federal income
tax return cannot claim this credit, regardless of his/her income, unless
his/her parents are eligible for Tax Forgiveness. In this case, the student
claimant must file his/her own tax return and PA Schedule SP.
Nonresidents and Part-Year Residents
Taxpayers who are nonresidents and part-year residents of Pennsylvania
may claim Tax Forgiveness if meeting all the eligibility requirements. Such
taxpayers must include in their eligibility income all income as described
whether earned within or outside Pennsylvania. Nonresident and part-
year resident taxpayers who file paper copies of the PA-40 must also
include a copy of Pages 1 and 2 of their federal income tax return along
with their completed PA Schedule SP.
CAUTION: If you are a resident of a reciprocal state and have PA-
taxable income in classes other than compensation (see also
Resident of a Reciprocal State Filing for a Refund on Page 11), you must
include all your nontaxable income (including the compensation not
taxable to Pennsylvania as a resident of a reciprocal state) earned outside
Pennsylvania on Line 6 of PA Schedule SP.
Section II. Dependent Children
A dependent is a minor or adult child claimed as a dependent on a 2022
federal income tax return.
The Department of Revenue has a two-step test for a dependent child:
1. Is the individual a child of the claimant?
For PA income tax purposes, child includes the natural child, adopted
child, or step-child of a parent. Child also includes a grandchild of a
grandparent and a foster child of a foster parent. Therefore, you can
claim a son or daughter, a grandchild, or a foster child as a
dependent for PA Schedule SP if you can claim the child as a
dependent on your federal income tax return.
However, an aunt, uncle, or unrelated person cannot claim a child
as a dependent, as defined above, even if claiming the child as a
dependent on a federal income tax return.
2. Can the claimant claim the child as a dependent for federal tax
purposes?
The age, status as a full-time student, and gross income of a
daughter, son, granddaughter, grandson, or foster child are factors
only in determining whether the claimant can claim the child as a
dependent for federal purposes. For example, parents that can claim
a qualifying 30-year-old child for federal purposes can claim that
child as a dependent for PA Schedule SP purposes.
You cannot claim a dependent child on PA Schedule SP if:
The dependent is not your child, as defined in questions 1 and 2;
You cannot claim the child on your federal tax return;
You are unmarried for Tax Forgiveness purposes, and your former
spouse by agreement or court decree can claim your child as a
dependent for federal and PA Schedule SP purposes; or
Your child’s other parent, by agreement or court decree, can claim
your child as a dependent for federal tax and PA Tax Forgiveness
purposes.
You cannot claim any other adult as a dependent, even if doing so on a
federal tax return.
A dependent child with taxable income in excess of $33 must file a PA
tax return. If that child’s parents qualify for Tax Forgiveness, that child is
also eligible for this credit. The child must file a tax return and a PA
Schedule SP. The child must also include any child support paid to his/her
parent on his/her behalf in his/her Eligibility Income.
Complete Lines 1 and 2.
1. Provide all the requested information for each child.
2. Enter the number of dependent children you are claiming.
NOTE : If you do not have any dependents, go to Section III.
CAUTION: If claiming an adult child, an adopted child, a foster

APPENDIX
REV-1882 - Health Insurance Coverage Information Request
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue and the Pennsylvania Health
Insurance Exchange Authority, also known as Pennie, have teamed up
to gather information from residents who do not have health insurance
coverage, making it easier to apply and enroll in comprehensive health
insurance through Pennie. By completing and including a REV-1882 with
your Pennsylvania income tax return, you are giving permission for the
Pennsylvania Department of Revenue to share information from your state
tax return with Pennie so that Pennie can evaluate your eligibility for no-
cost or low-cost health care coverage. The instructions for the REV-1882
are on the schedule.
2023 PA Estimated Payment Requirements
If you expect to earn, receive, or realize $8,000 of PA-taxable income
($246 of PA tax) that is not subject to withholding by a Pennsylvania
employer in 2023, you must make 2023 estimated tax payments.
IMPORTANT: If you are a PA resident working in a reciprocal-
agreement state and your employer is not withholding PA tax, you
must make PA estimated tax payments.
The department no longer mails preprinted coupons to taxpayers.
Taxpayers must obtain copies of the 2023 PA-40ES forms from the
department’s website or order the forms from the department using the
Forms Ordering Service found on Page 2. If you made your estimated
payments using software produced forms or via the Revenue e-Services
Center or via myPATH, the department will continue to accept your 2023
PA-40ES forms.
Military Pay - Members of the Armed Forces
PA residents report military pay earned while in Pennsylvania or earned
when not on active duty status as taxable compensation on Line 1a. Active
duty military pay is not taxable for Pennsylvania purposes if earned by a
PA resident serving on full-time active duty (or federal active duty for
training) outside the state. In addition, Act 182 of 2006 expanded the
definition of active duty military income to include income from the U.S.
government or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for active state duty
for emergency within or outside the commonwealth. This addition includes
duty ordered pursuant to 35 PA.C.S. Ch. 76 (relating to the Emergency
Management Assistance Compact). However, other income is still taxable.
41www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
Please see the information for Combat Zone and Hazardous Duty Service
below.
Do not include qualifying active duty military pay earned outside of PA in
taxable compensation reported on Line 1a of the PA-40. However, you
must submit legible copies of all your Form(s) W-2, and your military
orders assigning you to federal active duty outside Pennsylvania. While
your Form W-2 may state active duty, it does not show where you
performed your military service. Military personnel stationed abroad
should use their APO or FPO addresses.
For more information, request the brochure Military Pay for Pennsylvania
Personal Income Tax Purposes (REV-612).
CAUTION: PA residents serving in the Merchant Marines, U.S.
Public Health Service, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, the U.S. Foreign Service or contractors working in foreign
countries, are subject to tax on compensation whether earned within or
outside Pennsylvania. However, compensation earned by PA residents
serving in the Merchant Marines or U.S. Public Health Service called to
active duty in a Combat Zone or hazardous duty zone is not subject to
tax in Pennsylvania. Copies of executive orders that make the active duty
in the Merchant Marines military active duty are required to be included
with the return.
Servicemembers Civil Relief Act
The Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) affects the treatment of
residency and income for spouses of military personnel for state tax
purposes. If a Pennsylvania resident service member is serving outside
Pennsylvania and their nonmilitary spouse earns income in that other
state – and the spouse claims relief under the SCRA – the spouse’s
income is only taxable to Pennsylvania. If a Pennsylvania nonresident
service member is serving in Pennsylvania and their nonmilitary spouse
earns income in Pennsylvania, the spouse’s compensation income is not
taxable to Pennsylvania under SCRA, when the service member is in
Pennsylvania in compliance with military orders, the servicemember’s
spouse is in Pennsylvania solely to be with his/her spouse and the
servicemember’s spouse elects to have the same residence for purposes
of taxation as the servicemember regardless of the date on which their
marriage occurred. PA-source income, from a business, profession, farm,
rental or royalty property, related to a business or property located in
Pennsylvania remains taxable to PA nonresident military personnel and
their spouses and is not covered by the SCRA. For detailed information
on how SCRA impacts state taxation of income earned by a service
member’s nonmilitary spouse, please review updated Tax Bulletin 2010-
01 on the department’s website, www.revenue.pa.gov.

your 2020 or later year return using the Modernized e-File (MeF) platform
for Fed/State e-file. If not using the MeF platform for filing Fed/State
e-file returns, obtain a PA-40 PA Personal Income Tax Return booklet for
the year you want to amend, and follow the Amended Returns instructions
included therein.

the top of the PA tax return.
2. Complete the Schedule PA-40 X. Enter the amended amounts from

disperse your overpayment.
The department will take your original refund or payment into account
when reviewing the amended PA-40. Be sure to sign your amended return
and mail it with all explanations and attachments using the Mailing
Instructions for each type of return beginning on Page 25.
Refunds from Amended Returns
You can file an amended PA return and request a refund if you over-
reported income or did not claim allowable credits or deductions. You
must file your amended PA return within three years from the original due
date or extended due date.
Under PA law, a taxpayer must file a refund petition within three years
following the date of payment. For a refund of tax shown on a timely filed
PA tax return, the Board of Appeals may not accept a petition for refund
unless the taxpayer files the petition within three years of the original due
date or payment of tax.
An amended return should not be filed requesting a refund in the
nine month period prior to the close of the statute of limitations for
a tax period (three years from the original or extended due date of the
return). A Petition for Refund (Form REV-65) should be filed for
amendments requesting refunds during that time period to protect appeal
rights in the event the request for refund is denied. A Petition for Refund
may not be acted upon by the Board of Appeals if an amended return
refund is denied and the Petition for Refund is filed after the three-year
period has ended.
CAUTION: You may not file an amended PA return after the
department issued an assessment if your amendment relates to
the same taxable year and item of income, gain, deduction, or loss that
the department assessed. You must either file a timely petition for
reassessment or pay the assessment and file a timely refund petition.
Under PA law, you must submit a Board of Appeals Petition Form (Form
REV-65) no later than six months after the date shown on the
assessment.
Underreported Income for Amended Returns
If you discover that you did not report taxable income or erroneously
claimed credits or deductions, you must correct the error within 30 days.
File an amended PA return and pay the additional tax, plus penalty and
interest. Amended returns to pay additional tax can be filed at any time.
There is no statute of limitations for filing a return when an error is
discovered that results in additional tax due.
Copies of Previously Filed Returns
To receive copies of previously filed tax returns, you should complete and
sign Form REV-467, Authorization for Release of Tax Records, and send
it to:
PA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE
BUREAU OF ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES
12TH FLOOR STRAWBERRY SQUARE
HARRISBURG PA 17128-1200
You may also fax your request to 717-783-4355. If someone other than
the taxpayer is making the request, Form REV-677, Power of Attorney
and Declaration of Representative, must be submitted with the request
for the release of the tax records. If a taxpayer is deceased, sufficient
evidence to establish that you are authorized to act for the taxpayer's
estate must be provided to the department.
Please allow four to six weeks for a request to be processed.
Penalty and Interest
Penalties for Not Filing or for Filing a Late Return
PA law imposes a penalty if you do not file your return on or before
the due date, or the approved extended due date. The penalty is 5
percent of the unpaid tax due for each month or fraction of a month.
PA law imposes this penalty unless you show reasonable cause for
late filing. The maximum penalty is 25 percent. The minimum penalty
is $5. The department may prosecute any person who attempts to
evade or defeat his or her PA tax responsibility.
Penalties for Underpayment or for Late Payment
If you do not pay the full amount of your tax due with your extension
or your timely filed return, PA law imposes a 5 percent underpayment
penalty.
If you do not report taxable income that is more than 25 percent of
the taxable income shown on your return, PA law imposes an
additional penalty. This penalty is 25 percent of the tax due on your
unreported income.
You are liable for these penalties if your underpayment of tax is due
to negligence or intentional disregard of rules and regulations, but
without intent to defraud. The department may assess both late filing
and underpayment penalties if you file your return after the due date,
or extended due date, and do not pay your tax liability with your
return.
CAUTION: If you filed late or did not pay your Pennsylvania
income tax on time, the department will calculate your penalty and
interest and issue a notice. If any part of any underpayment of the tax is
due to fraud, PA law imposes a penalty of 50 percent of the
underpayment.
Penalty for Uncollectible Funds
PA tax law imposes an additional penalty on funds submitted via
check and not paid on presentment or an electronic funds transfer
(EFT) payment and not credited on transmission. The penalty is 10
43www.revenue.pa.gov PA-40
percent of the face amount of the check or EFT payment. The
penalty imposed cannot exceed $100 nor be less than $25.
Other Penalties
PA law imposes a $500 penalty on a taxpayer that files a frivolous
return. A frivolous return is one that:
Does not contain sufficient information for the department to
determine the correct liability;
Contains information indicating the liability is significantly
incorrect; or
Indicates that the taxpayer is filing in a manner to delay or
impede the administration of the PA tax law.
PA law imposes a penalty on any person required to furnish an
information return that does not file a required information return or
files a false or fraudulent information return. The penalty is $250 for
each information return.
Interest for Nonpayment or Late Payment
If you do not pay the tax due on or before the due date, PA law
imposes interest from April 18, 2023, to the date of payment at the
annual interest rate that the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury
establishes as of January 1 of each calendar year.
Abatement of Penalties
Penalties may be abated only if the taxpayer can show reasonable cause
for abatement in his/her petition for reassessment of the penalty. To be
timely, the petition must be filed with the department’s Board of Appeals
within 60 days of the mailing date of the penalty assessment.

income class and on Pages 10 through 21.
Apportioning Income and Loss on PA Schedule NRH
As a nonresident, you may apportion income that you earn both within
and outside Pennsylvania. You apportion your PA-taxable compensation
when your employer does not separately report your PA wages on your

within and outside Pennsylvania, unless you maintain separate books
and records that clearly substantiate your PA source receipts, expenses,
liabilities, etc.

Compensation
As a nonresident, you pay PA income tax on compensation for services
you perform in Pennsylvania. Your PA employer should report and

If your employer does not report, or incorrectly reports, your PA-taxable
compensation, you must use PA Schedule NRH to apportion your
compensation and any allowable employee business expenses.
IMPORTANT: If you are a nonresident, part-year resident, or
former resident of Pennsylvania, payments you receive from an
Early Retirement Incentive Plan, Deferred Compensation Plan, or
exercising of stock options may be taxable in whole or in part to
Pennsylvania if you earned any of these amounts while working in
Pennsylvania. You may be required to substantiate the number of days
worked in Pennsylvania or amount of time spent in Pennsylvania to
determine the taxable portion in Pennsylvania.

JUVENILE (TYPE 1) DIABETES CURE RESEARCH FUND
Each year, Type 1 diabetes accounts for
$14.9 billion in healthcare costs, and more
than 15,000 children and 15,000 adults —
approximately 80 people per day — are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes
in the U.S. Type 1 diabetes is a condition where the body does not
produce insulin, the hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose), starches
and other food into energy needed for living. Although the disease can
be diagnosed at any age, it is most often diagnosed in children,
adolescents and young adults. The causes of Type 1 diabetes are
unknown, and there is currently no way to prevent or cure it. Persons with
Type 1 diabetes are dependent on injected or pumped insulin for life. You
have the opportunity to help find a cure for this disease by contributing
all or a portion of your Pennsylvania tax refund to the Juvenile (Type 1)
Diabetes Cure Research Fund.
You can also send a direct, tax-deductible contribution by making your
check or money order payable to the Juvenile (Type 1) Diabetes Cure
Research Fund and mailing it to: Department of Health, Health Research
Office, 625 Forster St., Health and Welfare Building, Room 833,

PA CHILDREN’S TRUST FUND
The Pennsylvania Children’s Trust Fund
(CTF) is dedicated to funding effective
and innovative child abuse and neglect
prevention programs that strengthen families by promoting protective
factors such as social connections, concrete supports, parenting and child
development and parental resilience that can prevent instances of child
maltreatment. While preventable, too many children experience
maltreatment and some even die because of child abuse and neglect
each year. The impact of maltreatment is profound with lifelong
consequences. Robust funding of prevention programs that offer supports
to families can strengthen and improve the lives of children and families.
Every citizen has a role to play in keeping Pennsylvania’s children safe
and families strong. You can contribute all or a portion of your
Pennsylvania tax refund to make it possible for CTF to fund more child
abuse and neglect prevention programs. For more information please
