State of Pennsylvania Personal Income Tax Extensions

Pennsylvania offers a 6-month extension, which moves the filing deadline from April 15 to October 15.

To request a Pennsylvania extension, file Form REV-276 by the original due date of your return.

If you have an approved Federal tax extension (IRS Form 4868), you will automatically receive a Pennsylvania tax extension. In this case, you do not have to file PA Form REV-276 unless you owe Pennsylvania tax.

A tax extension gives you extra time to file. It does not give you more time to pay your Pennsylvania income tax. All state tax payments are due by the original deadline of the return. Any PA tax that hasn’t been paid by the proper due date will be subject to interest and penalties. You can pay the tax balance due for your Pennsylvania extension with Form REV-276, or pay electronically through the State’s e-Services Center: www.doreservices.state.pa.us

You do not have to mail Form REV-276 if you make an electronic PA extension payment.

NOTE: You may not be able to pay your Pennsylvania extension electronically if you are a first-time PA filer.
