INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALCULATING NEW YORK CREDIT

 Paying New York tax does not guarantee you will have enough credit to offset local Chestnuthill Township earned income tax. A New York Nonresident (IT-203) income tax return must be completed before you can complete a Chestnuthill Township tax return.

 A COPY OF YOUR W-2 FORM AND NEW YORK IT-203 RETURN MUST BE INCLUDED WITH YOUR LOCAL CHESTNUTHILL TOWNSHIP TAX RETURN OR YOUR CREDIT WILL BE DISALLOWED.

     From the Chestnuthill Township Earned Income Tax Return: 

Line 17:   Income amount from line 1, IT-203, New York State column. 

Line 18:   Multiply 1% x amount on line 17. 

Line 19:   New York tax liability from line 59, IT-203. Do not use the amount of New York tax withheld. 

Line 20:   Multiply 3.07 % (0.0307) x amount on line 17. 

Line 21:   Subtract line 20 from line 19. This is the amount of your credit. If you cannot subtract line 20 from line 19 or the amount is a negative figure— you have no credit. Put zero on line 10, Chestnuthill tax return.

Line 1:     Gross income includes deferred income and contributions to 401k. Do not use New York State or Federal W-2 wages. Deferred income and contributions to 401k is taxable for PA State and local. Local earned income tax is due on this income.
