Pennsylvania local payroll

PA Act 32 payroll setup in Harrisburg for a remote employee

Use the DCED address search to confirm work PSD, resident PSD, collector, EIT, and LST. Pennsylvania local withholding is address-sensitive: collect the employee's residence PSD and the work-location PSD before payroll.

Address-level PSD required

County: Dauphin. Act 32 pages should not guess from city name alone. Use the DCED address search and save the generated report for the payroll file.
