Free Help Filing the Property Tax Rent Rebate From PA Revenue
The Pennsylvania Department of Revenue offers free in-person help filling out and filing Property Tax/Rent Rebate (PTRR) applications. Department representatives visit senior and community centers across the Commonwealth, and help is also available at the department's district offices.
The rebate program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older, widows and widowers age 50 and older, and people with disabilities age 18 and older. If you want help with the rebate application, the PA-1000, check the eligibility guidelines for the Property Tax/Rent Rebate Program itself at pa.gov/agencies/revenue/ptrr. The income limits are not printed here.
Department of Revenue staff at these centers can also help you file your Pennsylvania personal income tax return, the PA-40, before the April 15th deadline. People filing a PA-40 may also benefit from the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit. If you think you might qualify for that credit, you need to bring a copy of your completed federal tax return, IRS Form 1040, to the center you are visiting. Taxpayers who received more than $33 in total gross taxable income in calendar year 2025 had to file a Pennsylvania personal income tax return by midnight, Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
If you need help with the PA-40, bring: - your tax information and income statements - a photo identification card, such as a driver's license - Social Security cards for yourself and your dependents
Assistance is available at the Department of Revenue's district offices from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. The Reading office is at 625 Cherry Street, Suite 239, Reading, PA 19602-1186. Call 610-378-4401 or email RA-RV-BET-RDG-DO-EM@pa.gov to arrange an appointment. Appointments are strongly recommended; the department asks visitors to call ahead to confirm the office's services and address.
The center visits are listed by county with scheduled times when events are coming up. No upcoming events are listed right now, and more events are to be determined, so there is no date in Berks County to go to at the moment. Inclement weather may affect the schedule, and it could change.
