Is your 401k already maxed out at 22,500? If not, contribute more. That comes off your MAGI.

401K contributions are taxed in PA. Distributions, including all gains are not taxed by PA.

Are they using PA's definition of taxable income for a federal program? I doubt it.

Think of it more like a Roth 401K for PA purposes. I’m retired and it’s nice not paying PA tax or local income tax.
