Tax Amnesty Notices

Written by Trout CPA Admin | May 3, 2017 9:57:00 AM

On April 21, 2017, Pennsylvania began a 60-day tax penalty and interest amnesty program.  As a result, some taxpayers have received a tax notice with the headline "Pennsylvania Tax Amnesty Program”. Most of the tax notices relate to "unfiled” tax returns (income, sales, use, etc.), with some going back 40 years. Many of these returns have been incorrectly flagged in the PA system as "unfiled”. 

If you’ve received one of these notices, please don’t ignore it. Simply forward the notice to your TEG contact. We’ve established a system to resolve these notices effectively and efficiently.  We do not recommend attempting to resolve these notices on your own; the call center phone numbers provided on the notice will not provide resolution guidance unless there is actual tax owed.

For additional information or assistance, please contact Michael Carr for business notices or Gail Mowery for individual notices.

Thank you for your continued business!
