INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING WAGE TAX REFUND PETITION (Salary and Hourly Employees Only) 

You must attach the applicable W-2 indicating Federal, Medicare, State and Local wages to the petition. A separate 
petition must be filed for each W-2 issued by employers that may have over withheld Wage Tax. Please attach letter 
from employer, on company letterhead with the dates or time period you were REQUIRED to work remotely.  

Eligibility for Wage Tax refunds -   For nonresidents, Philadelphia uses a “requirement of employment” test to 
determine whether Wage Tax withholding is required. This applies to all nonresidents whose base of operations is 
the employer’s location in Philadelphia. Under this test, a nonresident is exempt from the Wage Tax for the days 
when the employer requires him or her to perform a job outside Philadelphia. A nonresident who works remotely 
for the sake of his or her convenience is not exempt from the Wage Tax, even with the employer’s 
authorization. 

Taxability of Bonuses, Awards, and other similar payments - Bonuses, awards, leave time (vacation, holiday 
compensation), and incentive payments are subject to Philadelphia Wage Tax.  With respect to a non-resident 
employee working partly outside Philadelphia, the taxpayer can exclude the percentage of time worked outside 
Philadelphia when the compensation was historically earned.  

Example: 
A non-resident employee of a Philadelphia-based company was required to work remotely and only worked in the 
Philadelphia office for 10% of his or her 202 1workdays.  To be paid a yearly bonus for the year 2021, the employee 
must be employed on March 31, 2022, the date the bonuses are paid.  Ten percent (10%) of the employee's bonus is 
subject to the Wage Tax because the compensation is attributable to the time, he or she worked in Philadelphia 
during 2021.

Statute of Limitations - any claim for refund must be filed within three (3) years from the date the tax was paid, or

Only non-resident employees are eligible for a refund based on work performed outside of Philadelphia. 
Resident employees are taxable whether working in or out of Philadelphia.  

Both the employer and employee must sign the petition for refund. A petition for refund of "erroneously 
withheld wage tax from an employee must be made by the employer for and on behalf of the employee" (General 
Regulations Section 306 (2)). The authorizing official signing this form should do so only if they know of the 
employee's whereabouts as they relate to this petition, as well as an understanding of how this information applies 
to Sections 401, 402, 403, 404, 405 and 407 of the Philadelphia Income Tax Regulations. These regulations are 
available at www.phila.gov/revenue.  

Partial Year: In the context of this form, a partial year is one in which your liability or status for Wage Tax changes.
