Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in Georgia, file a nonresident Georgia return (tax rate: 5.19% (2025), 5.09% (2026)). Then file your Pennsylvania return and claim the PA Schedule G-L credit so you don't get taxed twice on the same income.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
