The deadline for older adults and Pennsylvanians with disabilities to apply for rebates on rent and property taxes paid in 2023 has been extended from June 30 to Dec. 31.

Eligible applicants of the Property Tax/Rent Rebate program are encouraged to file their rebate applications online by visiting mypath.pa.gov. This online filing option makes it simple to submit the tax rebate application and the supporting documentation needed to verify each applicant’s eligibility.

“So far this year, our agency has already received approximately 445,000 rebate applications. That’s roughly 100,000 more applications than we had received at this time last year — and the applicant pool thus far includes nearly 80,000 first-time filers who will be benefiting from the rebate program for the very first time,” said Secretary of Revenue Pat Browne. “With today’s announcement, we want eligible applicants in all of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties to know that they have more time to file their rebate applications. In addition to Department of Revenue district offices, there are a number of places across the Commonwealth where people can find in-person filing assistance.”

The PTRR program benefits eligible Pennsylvanians age 65 and older; widows and widowers age 50 and older; and people with disabilities age 18 and older. Submitting your application through myPATH is easy and does not require you to sign up for an account. Filing online gives you instant confirmation that your claim has been successfully filed. Applicants also will have access to automatic calculators and other helpful features that are not available through the paper application.
