PA Taxes part year resident - Any Special Pennsylvania W-2 situations

Background: I lived in MN and earned income from MN-based employers in the first half of 2024 and moved to PA in the second half of 2024. I earned income from MN employers only in the first half of 2024 and did NOT earn income from the MN employers after becoming being a PA resident. The W-2 forms I have are separated accurately into MN W-2 forms and PA W-2 forms (no overlapping in terms of income earned after I moved to PA)

Question: I am filing taxes for MN and PA as part year residents for both. In the PA tax return, the question "Any Special Pennsylvania W-2 Situations" came up, and the box "you earned income in another state" was auto-selected. This requires me to "add information statement" and send in my W-2 forms. Should I uncheck this box "you earned income in another state" since I did not earn income in another state while being a PA resident? Do I need to send in my W-2?

My W-2 from PA employer accurately reflects the amount I made as a PA resident, and W2 from MN employer also reflects the full amount I made as MN resident.

Yes, you should uncheck the box. You should not have to send W-2s because you are not dividing income from another state. You have correctly filed two part year resident states and your situation is very clear cut with both state employers and your W-2s.

As you indicated, 'My W-2 from PA employer accurately reflects the amount I made as a PA resident, and W2 from MN employer also reflects the full amount I made as MN resident.'
