Did you know the quickest way to get your refund is to file online? If you live and work in Pennsylvania, you can e-file on our Tax Administrator's Secure Website, which is available 24/7

Keystone Collections Group's e-file is the easy, fast, and secure way to file your tax return. It lets you file your tax return when it is most convenient for you. You will need your W-2, your Social Security Number, and any other income documents that may apply (such as a PA-UE or a Schedule C).

Please note that the forms have changed. If you will be claiming an out-of-state tax credit or if you work in Philadelphia, you may be eligible for a local earned income tax credit up to the amount you owe to your resident municipality. The worksheet on the back of the form will help you calculate your out-of-state tax credit (attach a copy of your out-of-state filing).

If you have questions regarding local tax filing, call Keystone's Taxpayer Helpline at 888-328-0565 to speak with a local, knowledgeable Taxpayer Service Agent. You can also email your questions to "Taxpayer Support".

The Chester Tax Collection Committee (CTCC) recently appointed Keystone Collections Group to serve as the Earned Income Tax (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) collector for school and municipal taxing authorities within Chester County. This important change was brought about under Act 32 of 2008. Act 32 requires municipal governments and school districts in all Pennsylvania counties, except Philadelphia, to select a single tax collector to serve the Earned Income Tax collection needs of the political subdivisions within the county. Keystone will officially start EIT and LST collections for the CTCD effective January 1, 2011.
