DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PA PIT AND IRS

For more information on differences between Pennsylvania andthe IRS, refer to the PA PIT Guide and the specific chaptersrelated to the income class for which you have a question. The differences described below are the result of recent Pennsylvania and federal legislation.

Other Federal Legislation . Federal legislation signed into law in 2013 - including theAmerican Taxpayer Relief Act - contained no provisionsapplicable for or that may be used in calculating PA personalincome tax liabilities. Any provisions provided in the aforementioned act to defer income or accelerate deductions must be reversed for PA personal income tax purposes.

Depreciation - PA Limitations .

• Bonus Depreciation. PA PIT law does not follow the federal allowances for additional depreciation expenses. You may not use anyof the bonus depreciation elections enacted for federal purposes.
• ACRS and MACRS and IRC Section 179. Pennsylvania allows ACRS and MACRS and limited IRCSection 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 of1986, 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 haveincome (loss) from more than one business, profession, orfarm, you may not deduct more than a total of $25,000of IRC Section 179 expenses for all activities. The PASection 179 expense is phased out for purchases inexcess of $200,000. For more information regarding what PA Section 179 expenses are allowed or allowable, please see InformationalNotice PIT 2012-05 on the department's website at www.revenue.state.pa.us .
• Other Differences. You must adjust your federal expense for the differencebetween your federal depreciation and your depreciationfor PA PIT purposes, when you elect a different generallyaccepted method that you consistently use.

IMPORTANT: The basis for property (where bonusdepreciation 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 betaken on these assets.

PA-40 LINE INSTRUCTIONS

Deductions

PA law does not allow standard deductions, deductions for personal exemptions, itemized deductions or deductions forpersonal 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 special instructions beginning on Page 26. The remainingclasses 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 eachclass 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 thepayments 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 froma 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 Savings Program

Contributions to a Pennsylvania 529 College 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 18 and the instructions for PA Schedule O, Other Deductions, on Page 33.

NOTE: Certain withdrawals and distributions not used for educational purposes are taxable. See the instructions for PA Schedule A on Page 29 for additional information.

LINE 1a. GROSS COMPENSATION

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; distributionsfrom nonqualified deferred compensation plans; certain early distributions from retirement plans; and termination pay. Theamount your employer reports in Box 16 of your Form W-2shows your PA-taxable compensation. If you receive Forms1099 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 your employer to follow PA income tax rules to determine Box 16. If you have any questions, contact your employer.

Form W-2 Wage and Tax Statement:

When reporting PA-taxable compensation, you may or may not have to submit Form(s) W-2 with your tax return. If you do not have to submit your Form(s) W-2 as shown below in When to Submit Form(s) W-2, you have these options:

• Complete PA Schedule W-2S, Summary of PA-TaxableEmployee, Miscellaneous, and Non-employeeCompensation. See the instructions on Page 24 andWhen to Submit Form(s) W-2 below; or
• Submit photocopies of your state copy of each Form W-2on 8-1/2 X 11-inch paper. You may photocopy more thanone Form W-2 on each sheet, but the form must be legible; or
• Submit your actual state copy of Form(s) W-2.

Report your PA compensation and withholding from each2013 Form W-2 from each employer. Enter your PA-taxablecompensation from Box 16 of your 2013 Form(s) W-2. Donot use Box 1, Federal Wages. Report your PA income taxwithheld from Box 17 of each Form W-2 on Line 13 of yourPA-40. Do not report federal income tax withheld, or incometax withheld or paid to another state or country, or income taxwithheld and paid to any local tax authority.

When to Submit Form(s) W-2:

Submit an actual state copy or a legible photocopy of eachstate copy of Form W-2 (keep the original for your records) and a written explanation if:

1. The PA compensation you enter on Line 1a of your PA-40is not the same as Box 16 on your Form W-2 (you believethat 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 yourForm W-2. You must also submit a written statement from your employer.
4. Your employer withheld PA income tax from your wages ata rate that is more than the 2013 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 aregreater than your PA wages in Box 16. In this case, complete and include with your return the PA-40 W-2Reconciliation 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 orcountry and did not have PA income tax withheld by youremployer.
8. You have a distribution from a nonqualified deferredcompensation plan included in Box 1 of your Form W-2.
9. Your Form W-2 shows income earned or tax withheld for another state.

NOTE: If you do not have a Form W-2 or a federal substituteW-2, Form 4852, you must submit evidence of your PAcompensation and tax withheld by providing pay stubs and astatement identifying your employer and the reason you donot have a Form W-2. Please submit legible photocopies. Keep your original documents.

FILING TIPS:

1. Complete and submit a PA Schedule W-2S unless theoriginal Form W-2 is required to be included with yourreturn as described above.
2. Some original Form W-2 documents cannot be processed by the department's imaging equipment (onionskin paper printed in blue ink, for example) and coulddelay the processing of a return. If possible, submit aphotocopy of the Form W-2 on standard size paperinstead of the actual Form W-2.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. If you worked outside of Pennsylvania and your employer did not withhold PA personal income tax, your 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 PIT Guide, Chapter 7 for additional information.

CAUTION: If you receive distributions of previously taxed contributions from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan, you should 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.

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 2013.

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.

FILING TIP: 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 37. If this is your situation, you are liable for Estimated Underpayment Penalty. See the instructions for Line 27 on Page 21.

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 forPersonal Employee Expenses:

PA-allowable employee expenses are not always the same asallowable federal business expenses. Read the instructionsbeginning on Page 26. You must be able to substantiatetravel expenses as to time, place and business purpose.

Report all reimbursements and allowances paid by youremployer as compensation unless you meet all three of thefollowing requirements:

1. The expenses are PA-allowable employee businessexpenses; and
2. You must, and do, account for these expenses to youremployer; and
3. Your employer reimburses you in the exact amount of the allowable business expenses.

If you receive a fixed-mileage allowance or a per diem livingexpense allowance that does not exceed applicable federallimits, you meet these requirements. Do not report theseexpenses on PA Schedule UE.

Retirement, Pensions, and Deferred Compensation

• Eligible Employer-Sponsored Retirement Plans. Pennsylvania does not impose income tax on paymentsyou receive that are commonly recognized retirementbenefits distributed from eligible employer-sponsoredretirement plans. Eligible employer-sponsored retirementplans can, but do not necessarily, include employer- sponsored deferred compensation plans; pension orprofit sharing plans; 401(k) plans; thrift plans; thrift savingsplans; and employee welfare plans. Ask your employeror plan administrator if your employer's retirement planis an eligible plan for PA income tax purposes. Eligiblenon-employer-sponsored retirement plans can, but donot necessarily, include Individual Retirement Accounts(IRAs) and Roth IRAs.
• Contributions. The contributions you make to your employer's sponsoredretirement plan are PA-taxable compensation, even ifyour contributions are not taxable for federal purposes orincluded in the state wages shown on your W-2.
• Distributions from Employer-Sponsored QualifiedRetirement or Deferred Compensation Programs. All amounts you receive from your employer's PA qualifying retirement or old age benefit plan are taxablein the year you receive the payments, except:
  1. Payments you receive after you qualify for retirementand retire.
  2. Payments you receive that you rollover into anotherdeferred payment program or retirement IRA, but onlywhen the transferred amounts are not taxable income for federal purposes.
  3. Distributions from an employer-sponsored deferredcompensation plan that represent your previouscontributions.
  4. Payments paid to the estate or designated beneficiaryupon an employee's death are not PA-taxable incomeon the employee's final PA-40 or on the decedent'sestate or trust PA-41, PA Fiduciary Income Tax Returnor on the beneficiary's PA-40.
  5. All distributions (regardless of the distribution codereported 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 591/2 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 591/2. 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 591/2.
  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 Filing Tips on Page 25 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.state.pa.us .

Early Retirement Incentive Plans:

Payments you receive as an inducement to retire early aretaxable compensation. Such payments are not part of a PA- qualifying retirement program. Your employer includes theseincentive payments on your Form W-2 and withholds PA tax. Even when you move out of Pennsylvania, these incentivepayments remain taxable to Pennsylvania.

• Distributions. If you withdrew from your retirement or pension plan, andreceived a Form 1099-R, you may have PA-taxablecompensation if:
  1. Your retirement plan is not an eligible Pennsylvaniaretirement plan; or
  2. If you have not reached the retirement age or yearsof service requirements under such eligiblePennsylvania retirement plan.
   

Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Programs:

With certain exceptions, Pennsylvania's constructive receiptrules are the same as the federal constructive receipt rulesto determine when compensation is received by a cash basistaxpayer. Following the federal constructive receipt rule, deferrals to nonqualified deferred compensation plans are notincluded in compensation. However, compensation includesdistributions from nonqualified deferred compensation plansattributable to an elective deferral of income, regardless ofwhether the distributions are paid during employment orretirement. Also, distributions of previously taxed contributions are not taxable. If you receive distributions of previouslytaxed contributions, complete and include with your return thePA-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 PIT Guide contains a table which cross-references the information on the Form 1099-R with its correspondingPA income tax treatment. PA law does not follow federal law concerning early retirement options for Individual RetirementAccounts, IRC Section 401 plans, 403 plans, and otherfederally qualified plans. To determine if the amount youreceived is taxable in Pennsylvania, review Boxes 1 through 3(the amount you received or your distributions) and the PAtax treatment of Box 7 (the codes that will help determine thetaxability of your distribution). The federal codes contained inBox 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 plan forPA tax purposes, and (2) you retired after meeting theage conditions of the plan or years of service conditionsof the plan. If your plan was not an eligible plan, or ifyou have not attained the age or years of servicerequired under the plan to retire, you must determine thePA-taxable amount of your distribution. You must use thecost recovery method to determine this amount. SeePage 9 for additional information.

IMPORTANT: If you are not sure whether your plan was an eligible retirement plan under PA taxlaw, ask your plan administrator.

• Code 3 or 4 Death/Disability Distribution. This is a distribution due to death and/or disability. Adistribution due to death is not taxable for PA purposes. A distribution due to disability generally is not taxable forPA purposes.
• Code 7 Normal Distribution. This distribution from an eligible Pennsylvania 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 purchased as a retirement annuity are not distributions from an eligible Pennsylvania retirement plan and are taxable as interest income to the extent they are included in federal gross taxable income. See Annuities, Life Insurance or Endowment Contracts on Page 13 and the instructions for PA Schedule W-2S beginning on Page 24 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 below.
• Boxes 8 or 9b. Distributions listed in these boxes 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 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 must be determined under the cost recovery method. See Page 9 for additional information. This distribution is taxable as interest on PA Schedule A, not as compensation on Line 1a.
• Boxes 10 and 11. If there is state withholding noted in Box 10 of the 1099-R and the state indicated in Box 11 is PA, report the amount of PA tax withheld on PA Schedule W-2S in Part B.

IRA Distributions (60-day rollover rule):

If you received a distribution from an IRA (before age 591/2 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 591/2, you must report your distributions on a cost recovery basis until you reach age 591/2.

Annuities. If you received a distribution from an annuity that is not an employer-sponsored retirement plan, see Annuities, Life Insurance, or Endowment Contracts on Page 13.

FILING TIP: If you receive a distribution from a retirement plan, IRA or any other plan reported on federal Form 1099-R, you must complete Part B of PA Schedule W-2S regardless of whether the distribution is taxable or tax-exempt. Withholding on distributions is also reported on this schedule. See the instructions for PA Schedule W-2S, beginning on Page 24.

LINE 1b. UNREIMBURSED EMPLOYEE BUSINESS EXPENSES

Review the instructions beginning on Page 26 to determine ifyou 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 onthe PA Schedule UE. If claiming expenses on PA ScheduleUE, briefly describe your occupation or job in the space provided. If your spouse also has expenses, describe his or heroccupation 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.

LINE 1c. NET COMPENSATION

Subtract Line 1b from Line 1a.

LINE 2. INTEREST INCOME

Report all PA-taxable interest income received or creditedduring 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. Include interest income from personal savings andchecking accounts, insurance contracts, obligations of otherstates (not Pennsylvania), and investments. If your totalinterest income (taxpayer, spouse and/or joint) is more than$2,500, complete and submit PA Schedule A. See theinstructions on Page 29.

Do not report interest income from direct obligations of the U.S. government, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, andpolitical subdivisions of Pennsylvania. For a list of exemptobligations, obtain Tax Exempt Obligations for PennsylvaniaPersonal Income Tax Purposes (Form REV-1643) from oneof the Forms Ordering Services on Page 2.

How to Classify Interest Income:

You must classify interest, regardless of how you report theincome for federal purposes. Report personal interest on Line 2. Otherwise, include interest:

• From business accounts, working capital interest, andaccounts receivable in determining profit (loss) on a PAbusiness 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 OtherInvestment Companies:

Include the earnings distributed to you (other than withdrawalsof your previously PA-taxed contributions) as dividend incomeon Line 3.

Annuities, Life Insurance, or Endowment Contracts:

If you invested in an annuity, including a retirement annuitythat is not part of an employer-sponsored retirement program, you may have PA-taxable income when you begin receivingannuity payments. If you are required to report an amountfrom an annuity for federal income tax purposes, you arerequired to report the amount as interest income for PA PITpurposes. Also, if you are required to report an amount froma life insurance and endowment contract for federal income tax purposes, you are required to report the amount asinterest income for PA personal income tax purposes.

Charitable Gift Annuities:

If you established a gift annuity to a charitable organizationfrom which you are receiving periodic payments, you havePA-taxable income. Charitable gift annuities report theirincome as interest income on Line 4 of PA Schedule A usingthe amounts reported or included in gross income for federalincome tax purposes (ordinary income and capital gainsincome) regardless of when they began reporting the incomefrom that charitable gift annuity. In the event that a charitablegift annuity is exchanged or sold in the future, the PA basis ina charitable gift annuity will be different from the federal basisfor charitable gift annuities from which payments began priorto Jan. 1, 2005. Income from the sale or exchange of acharitable gift annuity is reported on PA Schedule D.

Forfeited Interest Penalty:

. You may offset the penalty for premature redemption orwithdrawal of a time savings account or certificate of deposit, only against the interest income you received in the sametaxable year from that account or certificate. You cannotoffset this penalty against other interest income. If your totalpenalty exceeds the related interest income, you may reportthe excess as a loss on PA Schedule D.

LINE 3. DIVIDENDS AND CAPITAL GAINS DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MUTUAL FUNDS

Report all dividend income received or credited during 2013. You do not have to submit your Forms 1099-DIV and otherstatements. If your total dividend income (taxpayer, spouseand/or joint) is more than $2,500, you must complete andsubmit PA Schedule B. See instructions for this schedule beginning on Page 30. You cannot substitute a FederalSchedule B for PA Schedule B.

Capital Gains Distributions:

Report capital gains distributions from your mutual funds fromBox 2a of your 1099-DIV as PA-taxable dividend income, even though you report such distributions as capital gains onfederal Schedule D.

How to Classify Dividend Income:

You must classify dividend income, regardless of how youreport the income for federal purposes. Report personaldividends on Line 3. Otherwise, include dividend income from business accounts and working capital dividend income indetermining 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 Scorporation, and that corporation elected not to be treated as aPA S corporation, include the cash or property you actuallyreceived out of the corporation's earnings and profits asdividend income on Line 3. If you received distributions inexcess of the corporation's earnings and profits, report thesedistributions on PA Schedule D. Do not report the amount ofyour distributable income, and do not submit the federalSchedule K-1. A shareholder may not claim a credit for incometax paid to another state by an S corporation that elected notto be treated as a PA S corporation.

FILING TIP: You must include nontaxable interest and dividends as Eligibility Income on PA Schedule SP.

REPORTING NET INCOME, GAINS, AND LOSSES ON LINES 4, 5, AND 6 ONLY

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 2013 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.

PA SCHEDULES

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.

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 1 above, and
3. You failed to make timely estimated tax installment payments to cover the difference between 1 and 2 above, 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 were a full year resident, 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.

REMINDER: If you owe $1 or less, you do not have to submit a payment with your return.

REMINDER: The department will not issue a refund for less than $1.

Refund Offsets:

• PA PIT Liability. The department will apply youroverpayment to any outstanding PA personal income taxliability from a previous tax year.
• Delinquent Spousal/Child Support. Federal law requires Pennsylvania to establish a child-support offsetprogram. The Department of Revenue, in cooperationwith the Department of Public Welfare (DPW), interceptsPA income tax refunds of taxpayers that are delinquentin spousal/child support, and provides the offsets to thePA 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 pay over the refund to DPW, 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.

• 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.
