School districts in Pennsylvania are required to verify and correct the school district codes that taxpayers report on their PA Personal Income Tax Returns (PA-40s). School districts manage this process online through myPATH, the Department of Revenue’s online tax-filing system.
School district codes help determine how taxable income is reported to the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE). This plays an important role in allocating state funding to school districts across the Commonwealth.
Benefits of myPATH
Through myPATH, school districts can:
- Access the list of taxpayers who reported residency within their school district, including names and addresses.
- Review Act 80 data for accuracy.
- Submit corrections directly through myPATH.
- Receive electronic notifications when another district places a taxpayer in their jurisdiction.
- Respond with concurrence or make additional placement updates electronically.
Using myPATH eliminates the manual work from the prior paper-based process, increases accuracy, and improves turnaround time for both school districts and the Department of Revenue.
