Q&A with the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue
Why can’t Pa. 41 returns be e-filed?
Jun 23, 2010
The Department does accept the electronic filing of PA-41 forms. In tax year 2009, two software developers (Thomson Reuters Fast Tax Trust Services and CCH Small Firm Services) were approved for electronic filing of fiduciary returns. The Department has
received over 26,000 tax year 2009 PA-41 returns electronically which is 65% of the total fiduciary returns filed at the time of this inquiry.
