FILE YOUR LOCAL TAX RETURN ONLINE

Tax Day, April 17, is fast approaching. Our local tax administrator, Keystone Collections Group, just made e-file easier and faster.  With clear graphics, an interactive format and a streamlined process, you can file your local return online, in minutes, using any mobile device.

With e-file, you enter only the most basic information necessary to file your local return. You can easily transfer overpayments to your spouse’s balance due using the “Married Filing Jointly” option. You can file multiple returns from one e-file account, and you can view the status of your return(s) on the Home Page.

Even if you work outside of Pennsylvania, you can now file online. If you moved during the year, e-file makes it easy to file your part-year returns for each of your home locations if Keystone is the tax administrator.

Best of all – you can file your return today and schedule your payment for April 17 or before. You will get an online receipt for the payment.

If you are due a refund, you’ll receive an online confirmation that your refund was deposited into your bank account.

State law requires Pennsylvania residents with earned income to file a local tax return even if your employer withholds the tax from payroll or even if you are not due a refund. If you don’t have payroll withholding, work in Philadelphia and/or have net profits, you are required to file a local earned income tax return.

Why wait? File online today with e-file.

If you have questions regarding local tax filing, visit Keystone’s Frequently Asked Questions or call Keystone’s Taxpayer Helpline at 1-888-328-0565 to speak with a local, knowledgeable Taxpayer Service Agent. This line is dedicated exclusively to taxpayer inquiries during the local earned income tax season.  You can also email your questions 24/7 to Taxpayer Support. Taxpayer Service Agents try to respond to all online inquiries within three business days.

Taxpayers with earned income are required to file a Final Tax Return by April 17.
