The New Fast File Program
The Department of Revenue has launched a new Fast File program to offer a free and quick way for select Pennsylvanians to file their PA Personal Income Tax Return (PA-40).
The goal of Fast File is to provide a streamlined online option for taxpayers with a simple PA return, helping them meet their tax obligations while avoiding the cost of other tax-filing services.
Roughly 100,000 Pennsylvania taxpayers will be getting letters from DOR about the program.
