Philadelphia City Wage Tax Refund forms are now available on the City of Philadelphia website. Employees claiming a Philadelphia City Wage Tax Refund should complete only one of the following forms:

• 2021 COVID EZ Request
• 2021 Time Worked Outside of Philadelphia

To request a refund, you will need to complete the applicable online form and submit a copy of your W-2 and an Employer Certification on University letterhead with the exact dates you were required to work outside the city. If you are submitting a Time Worked Outside of Philadelphia form, you may also be asked to include a copy of your Telework Agreement, if applicable. The Division of Finance website has guidance for supervisors who are asked to provide Employer Certification. The city has also posted additional information on its blog.

Any refund claim must be filed within three years of the date the tax was paid or due, whichever date is later.
