With April 15 approaching, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue’s website offers free online tax assistance and filing services for qualified individuals, says State Rep. Jim Cox (R-129)
One can also click on www.pafreefile.com, which offers individuals with an adjusted gross income of $58,000 or less the opportunity to use tax preparation software from reputable vendors and file both their state and federal tax returns at no cost.
For individuals whose gross adjusted income exceeds $58,000, the department offers the option of using a free online fillable form for their state returns only. This option does not offer the benefit of tax software assistance, but it is a good choice for those who are comfortable completing their tax forms without help. It can be accessed through the same web address.
