Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
If you physically work in Wisconsin, file a nonresident Wisconsin return (tax rate: 3.5%-7.65%). 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)
Register for Wisconsin withholding and unemployment. Must withhold Wisconsin tax from Minnesota residents working in Wisconsin. Unemployment applies to the first $14,000 of wages.
