Pennsylvania taxpayers should be alerted to changes that are being made with the Department of Revenue through the myPATH online tax system that was launched in 2019, some of which has been delayed by the pandemic. myPATH has many great functions to help taxpayers be more self-sufficient and perform tasks related to their taxes with ease. Some functions are considered “non-logged in” which a taxpayer can use without having to create a user profile. Other functions are “logged in” which would require the taxpayer to create a profile to access them. Also, taxpayers can grant permission for third party users to have access to view and manage information on their behalf.
