Pennsylvanians Have Extra Time to File 2006 Tax Return

April 17 deadline matches Federal guideline for this year

Residents will have a little extra time this year to file their 2006 state income tax return, according to state Senator Don White

This year, Pennsylvanians have until Tuesday, April 17, to file their state returns and pay any taxes due. The extension brings Pennsylvania in line with the federal tax filing deadline, according to Senator White.

On Jan. 24, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) extended the federal income tax deadline to April 17 because April 15 falls on a Sunday, and Monday, April 16, is Emancipation Day, a legal holiday in the District of Columbia.

State tax forms are available at local libraries or by calling Senator White's Indiana Office at 724-357-0151/toll free 866-357-0151, his Kittanning Office at 724-543-3026/toll-free 866-366-9448 (1-866-DON-WHITE), or his Murrysville Office at 724-327-2422/toll-free 866-736-9448 (1-866-SEN-WHITE). 

Tax help is available by calling the Taxpayer Service & Information Center, (717) 787-8201, during office hours (7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday), or by visiting a state Department of Revenue district office.
