Senador Wayne Fontana quiere recordar a las personas elegibles que su oficina puede ayudar en la presentación de un reembolso a través de la 2022 Pennsylvania Impuesto sobre Bienes Inmuebles / Programa de Reembolso de Alquiler. Las solicitudes están disponibles en línea en www.revenue.pa.gov o llamando al 1-888-222-9190.

Los declarantes tienen la posibilidad de solicitar el reembolso del impuesto sobre bienes inmuebles/alquiler en línea utilizando el sistema myPath del Departamento de Hacienda. La presentación en línea conduce a un procesamiento rápido, opciones fáciles de depósito directo y calculadoras automáticas que le ayudarán a solicitar su reembolso.

The Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. The income limit is $35,000 for homeowners and $15,000 for renters. Please keep in mind, half of Social Security income is excluded.

The original June 30 deadline to apply was extended earlier this year. Applications are now due to the Department of Revenue by Dec. 31. The program is funded by the Pennsylvania Lottery and revenue from slots gaming.

If you need assistance in filing your application or have questions about the program, please contact the Senator’s Brookline office (412-344-2551) or Kennedy office (412-331-1208) to make an appointment.

Senator Fontana would also like to remind everyone that his office publishes an online newsletter each Tuesday. His ENews focuses on state issues, legislation and happenings within the district. You can receive these weekly News & Views editions by signing up at www.senatorfontana.com.
