PA IRS sent me a letter with their own figures changed from my tax report, with the result of a lower amount of refund to me. All of differences comes from that they remove the deduction of capital loss (Line 5 on PA-40 form) and make my total taxable income higher.
I asked the staff of PA IRS on phone, and she told me that it is simply because a PA tax payer can not report capital loss for deduction (or you can say they will not let you deduct it even though you report the capital loss), while if you have capital gain then you must report it and therefore pay a higher tax because of the additional earning.
I was never aware of this regulation, if it does exist instead of the staff giving wrongful information. So I wonder whether there is really such a tax law for PA state tax 2006? Any link to the specific law? Would people who are familiar with PA state tax laws please answer this question please? Thank you very much in advance.
