What's New: As part of a national effort by states to combat stolen-identity tax fraud, software programs are asking tax filers to provide their driver's license number or state-issued identification card number with their filing. Providing this information gives the Department of Revenue an extra security measure to help prevent refund fraud related to identity theft. Your return will not be rejected if you do not have a driver's license or state-issued identification. Providing the number is strictly voluntary and may help speed the processing of your return.
PA Free File is a safe and convenient Internet-based electronic filing option that save the department (and taxpayers!) administrative costs.
