Keystone Chat Now Available

Keystone Collections Group announces the launch of Keystone Chat, now available on Keystone’s FAQs page (look for the small chat bubble icon).  This innovative feature enables taxpayers and tax preparers to communicate directly with Keystone Taxpayer Service Representatives when they need assistance or have questions.

Mandatory Electronic Filing for Businesses
Effective Tax Year 2026, all local earned income tax (EIT) quarterly employer withholding returns must be filed and paid electronically on Keystone’s website at business.KeystoneCollects.com. Similar to Federal and State income tax, paper filings are no longer accepted. If local services tax (LST) is remitted to Keystone, businesses should follow the same online process.  Keystone is proactively contacting businesses that still file via paper to assist them with the conversion. 

Business Portal Help Videos
Keystone enhanced their online Business Portal to include Help videos. The short videos help users navigate the filing and payment process while providing answers to common questions.

USPS Postmark Update

Effective December 24, 2025, the United States Postal Service revised its definition of postmarks, declaring that a postmark may no longer reflect when mail was received. That is, the U.S. Post Office may not postmark mail on the same day it enters the system. Rather, the mail could remain unprocessed for an extended period of time, or never be postmarked with a date as it moves through the delivery process. Combined with other ongoing mail disruptions, this change creates added risk for time-sensitive payments.

To ensure timely and secure delivery, Keystone Collections Group strongly encourage taxpayers to use Keystone’s online payment and filing services, and avoid postal delays.

Keystone Collections Group has observed several recurring USPS mail issues:

• Lost or delayed mail: Delivery delays of weeks—or longer—can impact payment timing.
• Incorrect “Undeliverable as Addressed” (UAA) returns: Properly addressed mail may nonetheless be returned in error.
• Missing or illegible postmarks: Payments may be considered late without a clear postmark, even if mailed on time.

Online payments provide a fast and reliable way to ensure the filing and payment are received and processed without delay.

The revenue from the Local Services Tax is vital in maintaining the services the Borough provides, from road maintenance and public safety to parks and recreation.  It is also important to note that half of this tax goes to support our community’s vital volunteer fire and ambulance services.
