Your daughter will have to file a non-resident Pennsylvania state income
tax return, reporting the income from both jobs. She will likely end up
with tax due on the PA return because no PA tax was withheld on Job 2.
When she files her Delaware resident income tax return, she has to
report the income from both jobs but she can claim a credit for the tax
liability imposed by PA against the DE tax. The amount she can claim is
the amount of PA income tax withheld plus the tax due on the PA return.
She will have to attach the PA return to her DE return in order to claim
the credit.
The result is that she will not be double-taxed on both jobs.
BTW, the Job 2 employer should be withholding PA income tax because of
the lack of a reciprocal agreement between PA and DE. She should talk to
her employer about that.
