A client's son attending U of Penn had $ 24 withheld from a work study job for Philadelphia local tax. How do I file a return to get him a refund?

You don't. It won't be refunded. The withholding = the amount of tax due.
The more I know the more I don’t know.

Philly employers are required to withhold taxes from anyone who works in Philly - a non-resident earned income tax. The only reason to file is if the employer withheld at the wrong rate.
NJ residents, however, can take a credit against NJ taxes for taxes paid to Philly, just like they would with taxes paid to a non-resident state.

Nothing to do.
BTW, many PA localities also withhold a local earned income tax, from 0.5% up to 2%. Philadelphia's is the highest.
