Where to File PA CLGS-32-1?

If you had any earned wages for the year in question, a local earned income tax return must be filed annually by April 15 for the preceding calendar year. Submit the PA CLGS-32-1 Form to your local earned income tax collector with Form W-2 and supporting schedules (do not staple the documents). If you have lived in several tax collection districts throughout the reporting year, file a copy of the return for every district. In this case, you may use the part-year resident schedule to figure out how many taxes you owe for each taxing jurisdiction and file one tax return for each municipality.
