The deadline to file Pennsylvania personal income tax returns with the Department of Revenue for 2019 has been extended to Wednesday, July 15. The new deadline mirrors the decision made in March by the Internal Revenue Service, which extended the federal tax-filing deadline.
All penalties and interest on 2019 personal income tax payments will also be waived through the new deadline. Taxpayers who make quarterly estimated payments will also receive an extension. Both first- and second-quarter payments will be due on July 15.
The extension does not apply to local taxes. Pennsylvania residents are urged to check with their local tax collection agency to determine whether local taxes are still due on Wednesday, April 15.
Taxpayers are encouraged to file returns electronically to enable the Department of Revenue to process returns while state offices are closed. Tax returns can be filed for free online at https://padirectfile.state.pa.us. Free tax forms and instructions are also available at http://www.revenue.pa.gov.
