In Allegheny County, Governor Shapiro and Lt. Governor Davis Encourage Eligible Pennsylvanians to Take Advantage of the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit Before April 15th Filing Deadline

Governor Josh Shapiro and Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis visited legislative and community leaders in Allegheny County to encourage eligible Pennsylvanians to take advantage of the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit (WPTC) as they file their taxes prior to this year's April 15th tax deadline to receive more money as part of their tax refunds.

One of seven tax cuts the Governor and Lieutenant Governor have secured since taking office, the WPTC was created in the 2025-26 budget and will put as much as $805 back into the pockets of approximately 940,000 hardworking Pennsylvanians, easing the burden of rising costs for families across the Commonwealth. While the Department of Revenue has received tax returns from 492,960 filers claiming the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit, approximately 450,000 Pennsylvanians who qualify have yet to file their taxes and claim this credit - including nearly 40,000 residents of Allegheny County.

"When I took office, I made a commitment to cut costs for Pennsylvanians and my Administration is making real progress," said Governor Shapiro. "The Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit is the seventh tax cut we've delivered through bipartisan work with the Legislature - but there are more than 400,000 hardworking Pennsylvanians who have yet to claim this credit, and I want to make sure everyone who is eligible, will get this money back into their pockets."
