For PA taxpayers:
TAX FORGIVENESSDepending on your income and family size, you may qualify for a refund or reduction of your Pennsylvania income tax liability with the state’s Tax Forgiveness program.
Retired persons and individuals that have low income and did not have PA tax withheld may have their PA tax liabilities forgiven.
For example, a family of four (couple with two dependent children) can earn up to $34,250 and qualify for Tax Forgiveness. And a single-parent, two-child family with income of up to $27,750 can also qualify for Tax Forgiveness.
Nearly one in five households qualify for Tax Forgiveness. See if you qualify for all or part of Tax Forgiveness when you file your state income tax return. Simply file your state income tax return and include PA Schedule SP.
For more information, see the department’s brochure on the Tax Forgiveness program.
Taxpayers who qualify for PA’s Tax Forgiveness program may also qualify for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit program. For more information, visit the Internal Revenue Service’s Web site at www.irs.gov or call the IRS toll-free, 1-800-829-1040.
(Other states may have similar programs, PA is the one I see in other customer questions. In any case, the concept will be the same)
