Licensee Tax Responsibility Program

The most common compliance issue is non-filed tax returns, followed by collectable tax liabilities.

If you received a letter related to a Personal Income Tax concern, the IRS provided data that would indicate you may have earned PA taxable income during a specific year, and no return is on file, or you have a balance due beyond the appeal period.

Your licensing agency has submitted you for a tax compliance review per Executive Order 2011-06 [PDF](opens in a new tab). If you are concerned about the status of your license, please contact the issuing agency.

If you received a letter, please contact the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue, Bureau of Compliance, Business License Clearance Division at 717-425-2493, extension 91153.

Our agents will review the tax compliance status of each licensee or applicant & verify compliance with the business registration, filing and payment requirements of any state tax administered by the taxing agencies.

Please note, for account review & safeguarding purposes, the agent will first need to verify your identity by requesting your name, tracking number indicated on your letter and possibly the last 4 digits of your social security number & your address.

Regarding the confidentiality of tax information, the department’s agents are permitted to speak with the taxpayer(s) and/or the Power of Attorney on file, and are only permitted to verify information that you provide.
