Pennsylvania Electronic Payment Requirements

Pennsylvania may be experiencing a budget surplus, but that won’t get taxpayers out of a penalty assessment for failing to make electronic payments on balances due greater than $15,000. Payments made after December 31, 2021 for personal income tax payments equal to or greater than $15,000 must be made electronically. Payments not made electronically will be subject to a penalty equaling 3 percent of the payment amount not to exceed $500. All other taxes must be paid electronically if the tax due is $1,000 or more.

Taxpayers can make payments using debit cards, credit cards or ACH bank transfers on Pennsylvania’s online portal without creating a user name and password. Fees may apply.
