Philadelphia requires the taxpayer’s email address on all electronically filed BIRT, NPT, and SIT returns. For taxpayers that do not have an email address, a paper return will need to be filed. To include the taxpayer’s email address in the PA returns, enter the Taxpayer email address on federal Screen Contact, located in the General folder and mark the Include taxpayer/spouse email address on return or in electronic file checkbox under Setup > 1040 Individual > Federal > Other Return options > Other tab. Show me.

Philadelphia also requires an email address to be entered for the preparer. To enter a preparer email address choose Setup > Office Configuration > Preparer tab. If you edit a preparer, the Email address field is found under the Preparer name field.
