Reply to comment by srpayj in How does tax filing work in PA? Do I need to file both state and local taxes? by pondp
It blows my mind that the state doesn’t just collect taxes on behalf of counties and local municipalities. Like when we lived in NYC it was 4 lines on the state tax return. These local collection companies take all sorts of fees and so forth, like our borough collects a 10 USD / year residency fee. But there’s a 3 USD convenience fee if you file online. Somebody’s getting kick backs I’m sure.

It’s worse than that. It’s totally inconsistent. Some places it property. Some places it’s income. Some it both. I used to work for a large corporation based in another state. They could not deduct from my paycheck as it was too complex for the payroll system.
