PITTSBURGH – For the third time, counsel for Dollar General and Aldi argue that allegations brought against them and other retailers which said they unlawfully charged sales taxes on the purchases of face masks during the COVID-19 pandemic are unsupported, and should be dismissed.
Joshua James of Freeport (and on behalf of all others similarly situated) first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Nov. 12.
(The case was later removed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania on Feb. 11.)
The lawsuit took aim at many different retailers, including Marshall’s, Forever 21, Sally Beauty Supply, Dry Goods, Amazon, Zazzle, Etsy, Brave New Look, Outdoor Research, Aldi, Dollar General and eBay.
TAX FORGIVENESS PROGRAM STILL OPEN FOR ELIGIBLE APPLICANTS By Hometown4

With the individual tax deadline approaching, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue reminds those living in low-income households that assistance is available through the Commonwealth’s Tax Forgiveness Program.
This program allows eligible state taxpayers who earn a wage to lower some or all of their income tax liability through the REV-149 form. This form asks that employers to hold off on withholding for those eligible for forgiveness. Filers can take advantage of this opportunity using myPATH, a free online tax filing system on the Department’s website.
A family of four is eligible to earn up to $34,250 and qualify for Tax Forgiveness. Meanwhile, a single-parent, two-child family with income of up to $27,750 can also qualify for Tax Forgiveness.
