Earned
Income Tax Returns
NEW
FOR 2009 - NO OFFSET FOR BUSINESS LOSSES - Pennsylvania
Act 32 of 2008 included an important change in the way earned
income tax is calculated. In the past, taxpayers with a
loss from an unincorporated business were allowed to deduct
the loss from compensation earned as an employee. Effective
January 1, 2009, no offset is allowed for business losses.
Please take this into account when calculating estimated
tax payments.
