Reminder: Personal Income Tax Filing Deadline for PA is May 17, 2021
04/15/2021
Harrisburg, PA — The Department of Revenue is reminding the public that the deadline for filing 2020 Pennsylvania personal income tax returns and making final 2020 income tax payments is May 17, 2021.
The personal income tax filing deadline was originally set for today, April 15, 2021, but the department in mid-March announced an extension to May 17, 2021 to provide taxpayers with additional time. This followed an announcement from the Internal Revenue Service, which also extended the federal income tax filing deadline to May 17, 2021.
"We want to make sure that Pennsylvanians know they have an additional month this year to file their 2020 returns and make final payments," Revenue Secretary Dan Hassell said. "We are strongly encouraging taxpayers to file their returns online and make payments electronically. Taking these steps will lead to faster processing of returns and payments, while also helping us issue refunds as quickly as possible for the taxpayers who are expecting one."
