(WHTM) – Pennsylvania taxpayers have less than two months to file their annual taxes and there are several options for residents to file for free.

Approximately 2.1 million Pennsylvanians are eligible to use Direct File, which allows you to file federal and state tax returns at no cost directly with the IRS and Department of Revenue.

This is the first year Pennsylvanians can use Direct File, making the state 1 of 25 offering the product.

The IRS offers an eligibility checker at directfile.irs.gov that will walk you through the steps to see if you’re eligible.

Direct File is currently designed for Pennsylvanians with common tax situations. For example, it supports these types of income:

• Income from an employer (Form W-2)
• Social Security benefits (Form SSA-1099)
• Unemployment compensation (Form 1099-G)
• Interest income (1099-INT)
• Distributions for qualified medical expenses from Health Savings Accounts (Form 1099-SA)

Additionally, Direct File may be a good option if you:

• Lived in Pennsylvania for all of 2024
• Earned all of your income in Pennsylvania in 2024
• Will not file Pennsylvania Schedule OC — Other Credits

Other free electronic filing options are available to file state and federal returns using software from vendors. More vendor information is available on the Department of Revenue’s website. 

The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue also offers assistance on state personal income tax questions through the Department’s Online Customer Service Center. In-person assistance is available at the Department of Revenue district offices.

Anyone who received more than $33 in total gross taxable income in 2024 must file a Pennsylvania personal income tax return by midnight, Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
