With the individual tax deadline approaching, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue reminds those living in low-income households that assistance is available through the Commonwealth’s Tax Forgiveness Program.
This program allows eligible state taxpayers who earn a wage to lower some or all of their income tax liability through the REV-419 form. This form asks that employers to hold off on withholding for those eligible for forgiveness. Filers can take advantage of this opportunity using myPATH, a free online tax filing system on the Department’s website.
A family of four is eligible to earn up to $34,250 and qualify for Tax Forgiveness. Meanwhile, a single-parent, two-child family with income of up to $27,750 can also qualify for Tax Forgiveness.
Those with questions regarding forgiveness eligibility can call the Department of Revenue’s online customer service center at (717) 787-8201.
Additional information can also be found at revenue.pa.gov. The individual tax deadline in May 17.
