- You are mailing a check or money order to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue for any amount due.
- You wish to include a partial payment to reduce balance-due interest or penalties before the filing deadline.
If filing electronically, you can still print this voucher for recordkeeping when paying through myPATH.
