How to File for Free

If filing online, be SURE to use a verified free site.  There are many unreliable and deceptive sites.

  • Obtain forms:
    Many forms are only online, but we carry limited quantities of federal forms (such as 1040).
    We can look up and print any online State and Federal forms (such as PA-40, PA-1000 Rent Rebate) for 15 cents per page.
  • Use our computers to file:
    We can assist in getting you logged in to an official free filing site, but we do not offer filing advice.
When you file online, the sites lead you step-by-step if your return is not complicated.
