What is Earned Income Tax (EIT)?
Earned Income Tax is levied by the municipality and school district where you reside. It is a tax on gross wages and net profits.Tax rates are 1% or higher depending on the school district where you live, and the tax is shared between the municipality and school district. If you work in Pennsylvania, your employer is required to withhold the tax and remit it to the collector where the employer is located. The York Adams Tax Bureau collects the tax for most of York and all of Adams Counties. If you are self-employed or work out-of-state, you are required to make estimated quarterly payments of the tax due.
An annual Individual Earned Income Tax Return must be filed by April 15 following the end of the tax year. Even if you had no earned income during the tax year, a return must still be filed. Only permanently retired or disabled individuals with no earned income are exempt from filing.
