Greencastle tax basics
Greencastle residents pay Pennsylvania’s flat 3.07 percent personal income tax, which also applies to income passed through from partnerships, S corporations and LLCs. Local earned income tax for Greencastle Borough and the Greencastle-Antrim School District is collected by the Franklin County Area Tax Bureau. Neighboring Antrim Township is a separate member of the same bureau. For wages, Pennsylvania’s reciprocal agreements with Maryland and West Virginia mean residents are generally taxed at home.
That still leaves room for mistakes. A Greencastle owner may have Maryland wages, Pennsylvania business income and a spouse working in Antrim Township. Scott prepares business and personal returns together, reviews them with you before filing and follows up with quarterly planning, so each piece is reported where it belongs.
