March 27, 2026 - Philadelphia, PA
Governor Josh Shapiro and Pennsylvania Department of Revenue (DOR) Secretary Pat Browne visited the tax preparation clinic run by the Campaign for Working Families (CFW) at CHOP Karabots Pediatric Care Center in Philadelphia with legislative and community leaders 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 so they can receive more money back as part of their tax refunds.One of seven tax cuts the Governor has secured since taking office, the WPTC was created in the 2025-26 budget and is expected to 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"We know Pennsylvanians are feeling the impact of rising costs at the grocery store and the gas pump, but as the federal government makes their lives harder, my Administration is cutting taxes and lowering costs for working families," said Governor Shapiro. "No one should have to worry about putting food on the table and that's why I took action to secure the Working Pennsylvanians Tax Credit - the seventh tax cut my Administration has delivered since taking office - and I want to make sure every Pennsylvanian who is eligible, will benefit."
