Hi Hope2!

When I prepare the local wage tax return for the client, I confirm the tax collector for the client's resident municipality.  You can confirm this here:  

Municipal Statistics

You will type the client's address in the "Home Address" section and I always use the client's address for the "Work Address" section as well.  The local wage tax is based on the client's municipality of residence.  Once you click on "View Information", you will see who the tax collector is for the "EIT" tax (Earned Income Tax).  Note that the PSD code you would use on the local tax form is the Home PSD code.  You can find the address for the tax collector as well.  I usually type that in at the bottom of the local wage tax return, print it and attach the Copy 2 of the W-2 to the return.  (Also a Schedule UE, if one is prepared for the PA-40, as well.)   Generally, you will not have a balance due on this return because of the rules passed in 2012 in PA, but if Sch C income, then you will have a balance due.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

LAS
