New online system launches for Pa. business taxpayers

A new online system is now available to Pennsylvania business taxpayers to handle their registration, filing, and payment obligations for state taxes. Called myPath, the system serves as a one-stop shop for Pennsylvania taxpayers. 

Revenue Secretary Dan Hassell said myPath contributes to Gov. Tom Wolf’s goal of improving online services and providing Pennsylvania taxpayers with new tools to make their lives easier. 

“This system is already used to process personal income tax returns and payments, as well as rebates on property taxes and rent for older residents and Pennsylvanians with disabilities,” Hassell said in a statement. “It has been very well received by the public, so we are looking forward to expanding this resource for more people in the business community.” 

New taxes that can be managed on myPath include corporation taxes, employer withholding tax, and sales tax. These taxes provide revenue that constitutes a significant portion of the annual revenue collected and deposited into the state’s General Fund to pay for government operations and services for Pennsylvanians. 

The Department of Revenue has been working to launch a new system for customers to collect and remit taxes. As myPath is designed to work on computers, mobile phones, or tablets and is user friendly, customers can readily access their accounts. Business taxpayers are being asked by the Department of Revenue to register for a new account on myPath. Additional information can be found by visiting “How to Enroll for myPath” at revenue.pa.gov. 

Upon logging in with a new username and password, customers have the option to migrate their existing access from e-TIDES, the previous online system for business taxpayers, to myPath. To access their prior account information, customers can enter their existing e-TIDES username and password. The myPath system is also replacing the prior Pennsylvania Online Business Entity Registration (PA-100).
