The earned income tax is a "self-reported" tax under Pennsylvania law.
Therefore, local governments largely rely upon the taxpayer to honestly and accurately self report his or her total earned income.
Under self-reporting, tens of billions of dollars go unreported each year across Pennsylvania. Keystone fixes that problem by helping to ensure honesty and accuracy in reporting and collection.
Two objectives:
First, all current taxes should be collected, with strong incentives for residents to timely pay current taxes. Every effort is made to prevent current taxes from going delinquent.
Second, delinquencies should be recovered quickly. The delinquent taxpayer should be returned to the current taxpayer role in a fair and dignified manner. The recovery of delinquencies includes locating taxes mis-paid to another municipality, and returning this money to your community.
Easy Forms:
We provide taxpayers with the tools to easily pay their taxes on time. Our forms are designed with your taxpayers in mind. They include easy-to-follow instructions to help your residents understand their tax obligation.
Processing:
All payments are processed immediately. Your taxpayers will have access to information such as employer withholdings throughout the year.
Legal action on delinquents:
We provide personal attention and respectful treatment to your taxpayers. Your residents have the opportunity to establish reasonable plans to pay their tax obligation in a dignified manner.
Tax scofflaws and persons who simply choose to ignore the multiple notices and warnings sent by Keystone are ultimately
referred and handled through the legal system by special counsel. Importantly, you are not charged additional legal
fees, even when these cases rise to the highest levels of the court system.
