(Harrisburg, PA) According to a release in Harrisburg today from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (DOR), they have launched a free pilot program offering eligible Pennsylvanians a simplified way to file their PA Personal Income Tax Return (PA-40) this tax season before the deadline of April 15th, 2026. The Fast File initiative is for Pennsylvania taxpayers that have a straightforward state tax return and meet other specific criteria, and you can find out more about it by clicking here. The Pennsylvania DOR  has identified nearly 100,000 Pennsylvanians who may qualify to use Fast File and eligible taxpayers will receive letters in the mail encouraging them to use this option through DOR’s online tax-filing system called myPath, which you can find out more about by clicking here.
