A Tax Clearance Certificate verifies the entity satisfied all tax obligations due to the Commonwealth, including taxes, interest, penalties, fees, charges and any other liabilities. To obtain a Tax Clearance Certificate, the entity must complete and file an Application for Tax Clearance Certificate (REV-181). Entities are defined as a corporation, partnership or two or more individuals associated in a common interest or undertaking. This definition applies to domestic and foreign for-profit and non-profit corporations, limited partnerships and limited liability companies. Entities not subject to Pennsylvania corporate taxes must file the Application for Tax Clearance Certificate (REV-181) and report and pay all taxes, interest and penalties up to the date the entity ceased business activities in Pennsylvania. Entities required to file corporation tax reports may initiate the tax clearance process by: (1) Submitting an Application for Tax Clearance Certificate (REV-181). (2) Filing the appropriate tax reports/returns and paying all taxes, interest and penalties. Domestic corporations must file corporate tax reports/returns up to and including the date business activities ceased and assets were distributed. Foreign corporations must file all corporate tax reports/returns up to and including the date business activities ceased in Pennsylvania and PA assets were disposed of. (3) Providing a completed Distribution of Assets Schedule. Foreign corporations should account for the distribution of all PA assets. If assets were distributed in kind, a copy of the federal Form 1099 DIV, federal Form 4797 or federal Schedule D must accompany the schedule. After completing the Application for Tax Clearance Certificate (Form REV-181), make two copies of the application before signing it, and then sign the two copies.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
