GENERAL INFORMATION PURPOSE OF SCHEDULE Use PA Schedule G-L to calculate and report the amount of resident credit claimed for income tax, wage tax or other tax (measured by gross or net earned or unearned income) paid to another state when the other state imposes its tax on income also subject to PA personal income tax in the same taxable year. Pennsylvania resident individuals, estates and trusts may use PA Schedule G-L when they have income in any class of income that is also subject to tax in any other state. However, the same income cannot be taxable in more than one other state. RECORDING DOLLAR AMOUNTS PA resident and part-year resident individual taxpayers and PA resident estates and trusts must complete and include PA Schedule G-L with an originally filed PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return or PA-41, Fiduciary Income Tax Return, when reporting a resident credit on Line 22 of the PA-40 or Line 15 of the PA-41. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AMOUNT OF CREDIT If claiming a resident credit or out-of-state credit, the credit is the lesser amount of: ● The tax due to the other state (as may be adjusted), or ● The tax credit calculated using the PA classified taxable income earned, received or realized in the other state www.revenue.pa.gov RETURN TO FORM PA S CORPORATIONS, PARTNERSHIPS AND LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANIES When a PA S corporation, partnership or limited liability company (pass-through entity) files (a) composite return(s) (or other tax returns) on behalf of its shareholders, partners or members (owners) for other states, the pass-through entity should determine the resident credit(s) and/or out-of-state credit(s) it reports in the same manner as on PA Schedule G-L and should include (a) copy(ies) of the tax return(s) it files in the other state(s) with the PA-20S/PA-65, PA S Corporation/Partnership Information Return. The proportionate share of each owners’ resident credit(s) or out-of-state credit(s) should then be reported on Lines 8 and 9, respectively, of the PA-20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1, Resident Shareholder/Partner/Member Pass Through Income, Loss and Credits. PA SCHEDULE G-L NEXT PAGE 1 When a resident credit and/or an out-of-state credit is passed through to an owner of a pass-through entity, the pass-through entity should also provide a Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity to each resident owner. The statement should report the name of each state and the resident owner’s proportionate share of: CLASS OF INCOME The category of income as reported on Line 1c through Line 8 of the PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return, or Lines 1 through 6 of the PA-41, Fiduciary Income Tax Return, and reflected on Lines 2c through 2j of PA Schedule G-L. ● The income subject to tax in each state by class of income; ● The tax paid in each state; and ● The credit amount calculated for each state. INCOME SOURCE The name of the employer, partnership, S corporation, limited liability company, estate or trust that has income subject to tax in another state. See the example Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity found at the end of the Schedule G-L instructions. INCOME SUBJECT TO TAX Income subject to tax refers to the income taxable in the other state using the other states rules to calculate the income. However, this amount does not utilize itemized deductions or exemptions or mean taxable income of the other state. For PA S Corporations, include both the breakdown of the resident credit and out-of-state credit information (if applicable) on the same statement provided to resident shareholders. OTHER DOCUMENTATION The department may also require additional documentation at a later date to support the credit. Documents such as (but not limited to) checks, money orders, composite or entity returns for taxes paid on behalf of shareholders or partners and other related documents to substantiate income taxes paid or the amount of tax reported to the other states as due or payable may be requested. LIMITATIONS Taxpayers with resident credits for more than one state must file and calculate the resident credit for each state on a separate Schedule G-L. Taxpayers may not add the income subject to tax and tax paid for each state and report the amounts on one Schedule G-L as each state’s credit must be determined separately to verify the credit for each state is the lesser of the tax paid or due in the other state or 3.07 percent of the income subject to tax in the other state. The resident credit calculation on Schedule G-L limits the amount of allowable credit when the income subject to tax in a class of income in another state is greater than the income subject to tax in Pennsylvania in the same class of income. Taxpayers with multiple Schedules G-L must also perform a secondary calculation outside of the calculation for each individual state to make sure that the overall income subject to tax in one or more classes of income for all the states is not greater than the income subject to tax in Pennsylvania for the same class or classes of income. See the Credit Limitations Instructions after the instructions for Line 2j for additional information. See Examples 1 and 2 in the EXAMPLES part of these instructions for additional information. An estate or trust may earn a resident credit for taxes paid to other states. However, the resident credit earned by an estate or trust may not be passed through by the estate or trust to a Pennsylvania resident beneficiary. See Example 5 in the EXAMPLES part of these instructions for additional information. 2 PA SCHEDULE G-L PREVIOUS PAGE DEFINITIONS INCOME TAX RETURN FILED WITH THE OTHER STATE An income tax return filed with the other state refers to an actual tax return filed on behalf of the individual, estate or trust, taxpayer in the other state. The return must show the income subject to tax in the other state and the calculated amount of income tax due on that income. Although documents reflecting the income and tax paid to another state may be required to be provided with the other state’s return in order for the department to determine the correct credit amount, an income tax return filed with the other state does not include copies of W-2s, Schedule K-1s or other documents showing income and tax withholding for the other state. OUT-OF-STATE CREDIT The credit amount for income tax paid at the PA S corporation entity level to another state. The credit amount is reported to a PA resident shareholder on Line 9 of the PA20S/PA-65 Schedule RK-1. The PA resident shareholder should also receive a Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity. The statement shows the shareholder’s proportionate share of the income subject to tax by class of income, tax paid and out-of-state credit for the state. PASS-THROUGH ENTITY A pass-through entity is a partnership, S corporation or limited liability company. Estates and trusts are not passthrough entities for Pennsylvania personal income tax purposes. Resident credits earned by an estate or trust from taxes paid in another state by the trust or as a result of ownership in a pass-through entity may not be distributed to and claimed by beneficiaries of an estate or trust if the income from the pass-through entities is distributed to them by the estate or trust.

CREDIT LIMITATION INSTRUCTIONS If the Pennsylvania income reported in Column A for taxpayer or spouse reflects an amount that is smaller than the amount reported in Column B for the other state, an adjustment must be made to the tax paid amount on Line 4d. In addition, if more than one PA Schedule G-L reports income subject to tax in any class of income for more than one other state, the amounts of income subject to tax for each class of income in the other states must be added together and compared to the income subject to tax in PA for each class of income for the taxpayer and/or spouse. If the total income subject to tax in all the states for any class of income exceeds the amount included in any class of income on the PA Schedule G-L for the taxpayer or spouse, an adjustment to the amount of income subject to tax in the class of income for one or more of the states must be made so that the total income does not exceed the amount of income subject to tax in PA for either the taxpayer or spouse. If an adjustment to income is made as a result of excess income in a class of income subject to tax in one or more states, an adjustment must also be made to the tax paid amount on Line 4d for the state(s).

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAXPAYERS REPORTING AMOUNTS ON PA-40 LINE 10, OTHER DEDUCTIONS If a taxpayer or spouse claims a deduction on Line 10 of the PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return, Column A amounts on Lines 2c through 2j of PA Schedule G-L must be reduced by a pro-rata amount of the deduction.

Repeat Steps a through f for each class of income with positive income amounts included in Lines 1c through 8 of the PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return, for the taxpayer or spouse. See Example 2 in the EXAMPLES part of these instructions for additional information. LINE 3 If a taxpayer has more income subject to tax in the other state than in one or more of the PA classes of income or the combined income subject to tax in all the states in which there is income subject to tax is greater than the income subject to tax in one or more PA classes of income, an adjustment to the amount of tax paid to the other state is required. Also, if another state had income on which there was no tax paid in Pennsylvania or on which the amount of income subject to tax in Pennsylvania was reduced due to other losses that were not permitted or attributable to the other state, an adjustment must be made to reduce the amount of tax paid to the other state to reflect the proportionate tax paid on the income subject to tax in both states. For example, if the income subject to tax in the other state for net income from a business, profession or farm is more than the amount of the PA-40 net income from a business, profession, or farm (Line 2f, Column B is more than Line 2f, Column A), an adjustment is required for Line 4c. Complete the Worksheet for Adjusted Tax Paid in the Other State in Section III of the PA Schedule G-L to determine the amount of adjustment required to taxes. Enter the amount from Section III, Line 5. LINE 4e Subtract Line 4d from Line 4c. Enter the result here. Add the amounts on Lines 2c thru 2j for Column C and enter the result here. LINE 5 LINE 4a Multiply Line 3 by 3.07 percent (0.0307). Enter the result here.

LINE 2 Add the amounts from Section I, Column B, Lines 2c through 2j. Enter the result here. LINE 3 Divide the amount on Line 1 by the amount on Line 2. If the result of dividing Line 1 by Line 2 equals 1.000000, no adjustment to tax paid is required. Do not complete Lines 4 and 5 of this section. Stop here and enter “0” on Section I, Line 4d. LINE 4 Subtract Line 3 from 1.000000. 8 PA SCHEDULE G-L PREVIOUS PAGE EXAMPLES EXAMPLE 1 Joe owns multiple business entities and reports total income for Pennsylvania purposes in the Net Income or Loss from the Operation of a Business, Profession of Farm class of income of $100,000. This amount is the net amount Joe reports on Line 4 of his PA-40, Personal Income Tax Return, because one or more of the entities he owns has a loss in this class of income. One of the entities Joe owns operates in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Maryland. The total Line 4 income for the entity is $200,000 with $75,000 being PA-source income; with $50,000 subject to tax in New Jersey; $40,000 subject to tax in New York; and $35,000 subject to tax in MD. He completes Schedule G-L for each of these states and in each state, the income subject to tax in the other states is business income and the amount of income subject to tax in each state is less than the net Pennsylvania Line 4 income of $100,000. However, the total income subject to tax for the Line 4 class of income for all the states is $125,000. Joe must limit his resident credit in one of the states so that his total resident credit for taxes paid to the other states does not exceed 3.07% of $100,000 or $3,070. Joe must also adjust the amount of tax paid in the state where the income was adjusted to the proportionate amount of tax related to the reduction in income. Furthermore, Joe must provide a statement with his return explaining why the credit was reduced for one of the states. EXAMPLE 2 Andy has compensation of $80,000, reported on his PA-40 return. He did not claim any business expenses on PA Schedule UE. Andy also reported $3,000 of interest income, $5,000 of dividend income and $8,000 of gains from the sale, exchange or disposition of property (gains) from a vacation property in Delaware. In addition, Andy has $4,000 of income from a rental property he owns, which is also located in Delaware. Furthermore, Andy’s work requires him to spend 90 percent of his time in the Delaware office of his employer. Andy has two children, and he contributes $10,000 each to an IRC Section 529 plan on their behalf. On his PA-40 return, Andy reports a total of $100,000 of PA taxable income on Line 9 of the return and $20,000 on Line 10. Andy paid tax of $6,000 to Delaware on total income subject to tax in Delaware of $84,000 (compensation of $72,000, gains of $8,000 and rental income of $4,000). www.revenue.pa.gov NEXT PAGE Andy would report the following amounts in Column A of his PA Schedule G-L: Line 2c - $64,000 Line 2d -$ 2,400 Line 2e - $4,000 Line 2g -$ 6,400 Line 2h -$ 3,200 The amounts reported on each line of Column A for Andy are reduced by the pro-rat share of the Line 10 deduction using the worksheet in the Special Instructions for Taxpayers Reporting Amounts on PA-40 Line 10, Other Deductions. For example the amount reported on Line 2c was determined by taking the $80,000 he reported as compensation dividing it by his total income of $100,000 and multiplying it by the amount of his other deductions of $20,000 and subtracting the result of $16,000 PA compensation amount to get $64,000 ($80,000/$100,000 x $20,000 = $16,000 $80,000$16,000 = $64,000). Although the total income Andy paid tax on to Delaware was $84,000, he may only claim a resident credit on $73,600 ($64,000 of compensation, $6,400 of gains and $3,200 of rental income). Andy must also adjust his tax paid to the other state to $5,257 by completing Section III and Section II, Lines 4d and 4e of PA Schedule G-L. EXAMPLE 3 Jeremy is a 50% shareholder of a PA S corporation that does business in multiple states. The S corporation files composite returns for all the states it does business in except two states. In one of the states, the entity is not an S corporation and the S corporation claims an out-of-state credit for that state. Jeremy files an individual tax return on his own for the other state where a composite return is not filed because he has other income from other sources in that state. Jeremy receives a PA Schedule RK-1 from the S corporation that includes his income along with a Resident Credit amount on Line 8 and an Other Credit amount on Line 9. He also receives a Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity from the S corporation that provides a breakdown of the resident credit amount from Line 8 of his PA Schedule RK-1. The statement also provides him with the required class(es) of income, tax paid and out-of-state credit amount for Line 9 of his PA Schedule RK-1. This example summarizes Jeremy’s PA-40 filing requirements regarding the resident credits and out-of-state credit. The PA-40 for Jeremy should include the following: ● PA Schedules G-L for each state related to the resident credit reported on Line 8 of Jeremy’s PA Schedule RK1. The PA Schedules G-L should be prepared using the breakdown provided on the Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity. The PA Schedules G-L should also have the Credit from PassThrough Entity oval completed in the upper right corner of the schedule; www.revenue.pa.gov PREVIOUS PAGE ● A PA Schedule G-L for the out-of-state credit reported on Line 9 of Jeremy’s PA Schedule RK-1. The PA Schedule G-L should be prepared using the information for the out-of-state credit provided on the Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity. The PA Schedules G-L should also have the Credit from Pass-Through Entity oval completed in the upper right corner of the schedule; ● A PA Schedule G-L for the state where Jeremy filed an individual tax return separately for his tax liability in that state; ● A copy of the Statement of Resident Credit for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity; ● A copy of the separately filed state tax return; and ● A copy of the PA Schedule RK-1 showing amounts reported on Lines 8 and 9. EXAMPLE 4 Chansier is a partner in a partnership that does business in multiple states. The partnership files composite returns for all the states in which it does business except three states. Chansier files separate individual income tax returns for the additional three states in which the partnership does business. Chansier receives a PA Schedule RK-1 from the partnership along with a Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity. This example summarizes Chansier’s PA-40 filing requirements regarding his resident credits. The PA-40 for Chaniser should include the following: ● PA Schedules G-L for each state where composite returns were filed related to the resident credit reported to Chansier on the Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity; ● A PA Schedule G-L for each state where Chansier filed an individual tax return separately for his tax liability in each state; ● A copy of the Statement of Resident Credits for Owners of a Pass-Through Entity; ● A copy of the separately filed state tax returns for each state where Chansier filed separately; and ● A copy of the PA Schedule RK-1 from the partnership. EXAMPLE 5 The John Smith Grantor Retained Annuity Trust, a Pennsylvania resident trust, is a shareholder in PA S corporation that does business in multiple states. John Smith, an individual, is also a shareholder in the PA S corporation. The PA S corporation files composite returns on behalf of its shareholders for every state. The trust distributes all of its income to its one beneficiary, John Smith. For this example, the trust is not permitted to claim a resident credit for the taxes paid to the other states because it distributes all of its income. The trust is not permitted to pass the resident credits on to its beneficiary, John Smith, as it is not considered to be a pass-through entity. In addition, John Smith is not permitted to claim a resident credit on trust income distributed to him by the trust.

Form PA-40 G-L is a Pennsylvania Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
