Pennsylvania Income Tax Extension

Option 1: If you do not owe Pennsylvania income taxes or anticipate receiving a PA tax refund by the tax deadline, you are not required to prepare and file a PA tax extension. However, if you expect a PA tax refund, you must file or e-file your PA tax return to ensure you receive your refund promptly.

Option 2: If you have e-filed a federal extension and do not owe Pennsylvania income taxes or expect a tax refund by the tax deadline, your accepted federal extension will serve as your state extension. You do not need to mail in Form REV-276.

Option 1: You can pay all or part of your Pennsylvania income taxes online through the Pennsylvania Taxpayer Access Point or the Official Payments site using a debit or credit card. Please note that there may be a convenience fee associated with paying by card.

Option 2: If you owe Pennsylvania income taxes, you must either submit a Pennsylvania tax return or extension by the tax deadline to avoid late filing penalties. You can only e-file an IRS tax extension; Pennsylvania extensions must be filed differently. An extension will only prevent late filing penalties until the October deadline.

Please note: If you do not pay all your taxes or e-file your tax return by the October deadline, late filing penalties will resume after that date.

Option 3: To comply with Pennsylvania state tax requirements, complete Form REV-276, include a check or money order for any owed taxes, and mail both to the address specified on Form REV-276. It's crucial to note that even if you filed an extension, you must still submit your PA tax return either electronically through eFile or by paper before the October deadline.

All Pennsylvania Tax Income Tax Return Deadlines

Important: If you owe Pennsylvania and/or IRS income taxes and fail to file an IRS and Pennsylvania tax return or extension by the Tax Due Date, you may incur late filing penalties from both entities. Estimate the IRS late filing and payment penalties accordingly. Additionally, failure to pay your taxes by the Tax deadline will result in late tax payment penalties. Filing an extension on time will only waive late filing penalties, not late tax payment penalties. Late filing penalties are typically higher than late payment penalties, so it's important to file something on time even if you are unable to pay on time!
