With the tax filing season open, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue encourages taxpayers to use a free online option to file their Pennsylvania personal income tax returns. Taxpayers can visit http://www.mypath.pa.gov to file their PA tax returns through the department's state-only filing system.

In addition to being free, myPATH is user friendly and provides an option for the majority of taxpayers to file the Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax Return (PA-40), make income tax payments, and access other services. The deadline to submit 2021 personal income tax returns is Monday, April 18.

People are encouraged to file returns online and as soon as possible.
