Free Property Tax/Rent Rebate Filing Assistance

The Department of Revenue provides additional in-person assistance across the Commonwealth following Governor Josh Shapiro’s work to expand the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program.

Overview

Representatives from the Department of Revenue (DOR) will be visiting senior and community centers across the Commonwealth to help Pennsylvanians who need help filing their Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) program applications.

This additional in-person assistance is being offered in part to help Pennsylvanians who are newly eligible for the PTRR program following Governor Josh Shapiro's successful work to expand the program. DOR representatives stationed at these centers will also be able to help Pennsylvanians file their Pennsylvania personal income tax returns (PA-40s) now that tax season is underway.

Department of Revenue staff will be available at the locations listed below by county, and times are scheduled for the coming events. Inclement weather may impact this schedule, and it could be subject to change.

In addition, assistance is available at the Department of Revenue's district offices from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Customers are encouraged to email or call ahead to schedule an appointment.

What Should I Bring With Me?

Applicants who need assistance with the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program application (PA-1000) should check the eligibility guidelines on the PTRR Program. The rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older.

Taxpayers who need assistance with the Pennsylvania personal income tax return (PA-40) should bring their tax information/income statements, a photo identification card (driver's license, etc.), and Social Security cards for themselves and their dependents. As a reminder, all taxpayers who received more than $33 in total gross taxable income in calendar year 2024 must file a Pennsylvania personal income tax return by midnight, Tuesday, April 15, 2025.
