Pennsylvania state tax filings.

Who you deal with in Pennsylvania

2 separate agencies, on 2 separate systems. Doing something with one does nothing to the others.

What Pennsylvania does differently

• Two agencies, and neither one tells the other. Cancelling your withholding account in myPATH does nothing to your UC account. The Department of Revenue's own guidance says to separately notify Labor and Industry about Unemployment Compensation and Workers' Compensation. Businesses close the first account, assume they are finished, and keep getting UC notices for quarters they had no employees.
• One form covers several tax types. REV-1706 is used for state and local sales and use tax, employer withholding, and other taxes and fees, so it is easy to cancel one account believing you cancelled all of them. If you had both a sales account and a withholding account, both have to be identified.
• The local layer is the real Pennsylvania problem. Employers also deal with local Earned Income Tax and Local Services Tax, collected by local collectors rather than by the state. The PA-100 does nothing about them, nothing prompts you, and which collector applies depends on where the employee works and lives.
• Digital products are in the tax base. Pennsylvania taxes the sale, rental or use of tangible personal property including digital products, which catches businesses that think of themselves as selling only downloads or subscriptions.
• One certificate, many taxes. REV-1220 covers state and local sales and use tax, hotel occupancy tax, PTA taxes and fees, and vehicle rental tax, and resale is one numbered reason among many. Checking the wrong box is the commonest defect on a form this general.
