Balford Farms milk Delivery

I'm almost 99.999999999% sure that it's free. Anybody in Local 463 gets free healthcare. Bimbo Bakeries is in the same union. So is Grocery Haulers. Dietz & Watson, Dean Foods/Lehigh Valley Farms, HP Hood, Penn Maid, Crowley, Quaker Valley Foods, etc., all in the same union local and all get free healthcare. 100% paid. Zero deductions from your paycheck.

As far as paying taxes, it'll be for PA only. It doesn't matter where you work at, it all depends on where you live. But you'll still have to pay for that Philly wage tax and tolls going over the bridge. It's free to get into Jersey...but you have to pay to get out.

 

I’m in a similar situation, working in one state but living in another, and in a city with an additional income tax. My paycheck has taxes withheld for the state where I work. In January I file tax returns for both states, and the state where I live gives me credit for what I paid to the other state, leaving me to only pay the difference. I wasn’t able to have the city income tax withheld, so I had to pay that in full.

 

PA and NJ have what's called a reciprocal income tax agreement. Under the agreement, it says that PA residents who work in NJ are not subject to NJ income tax and vice versa.....

NJ Division of Taxation - Income Tax - PA/NJ Reciprocal Income Tax Agreement

Philly city wage tax on the other hand is the highest in the nation at 3.8809% for residents and 3.4567% for non residents. If you're a PA resident who works in Philly and spends 90% of the time outside of Philly, I think city wage tax is reduced to around .5 - 1%. I forgot what the actual amount is.

 

Nah...you're still gonna have to pay that 3.88% because you live in Philly. You're a resident. You can't escape it...lol.

What I meant was a PA resident that lives outside of Philly...such as Bucks County...that commutes to Philly to work, but spends 90% of the time working outside of Philly...gets that reduced city wage tax. It's mainly for truckers or anybody who's job involves driving. For example...let's say someone who lives in Morrisville who commutes to Philly to work for Coca Cola off of Erie Ave in Juniata as a Bulk Transport Driver and drives all the way down to Ocean City MD for deliveries...that person would qualify for the reduced city wage tax because they spend more time outside of Philly than they do working in Philly.

 

@PhillyDrives215 , I'd be interested in reading about your journey, son. Good luck to you.

@Sho Nuff , you really went above and beyond to help this young man. Nice job!

 

I just meant that I have to file two state income tax returns, but I don’t really owe anything extra.
