Tax Preparation in Springfield, PA: Local Expertise for Residents, Commuters and Business Owners
Whether you live near Sproul Road, commute through the township, or run a business along Baltimore Pike, your tax situation has local details that national software won’t flag. Bargeld Financial prepares federal, Pennsylvania and local returns for Springfield, Delaware County taxpayers (in PA 19064), in person at our Media office or remotely. Our tax preparation fee starts at $185.
New for 2026: Springfield Township’s Earned Income Tax
Effective July 1, 2026, Springfield Township residents pay a 1% earned income tax. The Springfield School District rate is 0%, so the combined rate is 1%. The township was at 0.0% from January through June 2026 and 1.0% from July through December, and the 2026 final return form uses a blended 0.5% rate. Part-year residents have their own worksheet.
What this means for you:
Employees: Check your pay stubs to confirm your employer is withholding at the correct local rate.
Self-employed and 1099 earners: If tax isn’t withheld, you report and pay it yourself, quarterly, through the township’s collector. Bargeld Financial builds this into your estimated tax plan so it doesn’t surprise you in April.
People who work here but live elsewhere: A 1% non-resident tax applies to employees who commute into Springfield Township, and employers must withhold at the higher of the home and work rates.
Everyone with earned income: Pennsylvania law requires residents with earned income or net profits to file an annual local return by April 15. We prepare it with your federal and Pennsylvania return.
A Township With Deep Roots
Springfield was first settled by Quakers who came with William Penn and was recognized as a governmental entity in 1686. It had about 25,070 residents at the 2020 census and sits roughly four miles west of Philadelphia. The current Springfield Friends Meeting House dates to 1851, on a site where construction of the first Quaker meeting house began in 1701.
The township was mostly farmland until developers built single-family neighborhoods. One of the largest was Stoney Creek, started in 1949 and finished in about five years, running from West Avenue to Providence Road and up to Baltimore Pike. Many Springfield homes are now more than 70 years old, and long-time homeowners tend to share a few tax situations:
Decades of home equity, with questions about refinancing or downsizing
Mortgage interest and property taxes to weigh against the standard deduction
Home repairs and improvements that raise the property’s cost basis
Retirement income from pensions, IRAs and Social Security
Bargeld Financial helps Springfield homeowners decide each year whether itemizing actually beats the standard deduction, and keeps the records that protect them when they eventually sell.
Springfield’s Parks, Schools and Families
Springfield has 24 parks. Among the notable ones are Veterans Memorial Park, Williams Park, Jane Lownes Park, Indian Rock Park, Meadowgreen Park, Halderman Field, Netherwood Park, Walsh Park, Rolling Green Park, Crowell Park and Elson Glen Park. Springfield Country Club, at 400 W. Sproul Road, is a public 18-hole course about 10 minutes from Philadelphia International Airport. Springfield families spend plenty of weekends at these fields and courses, and that community involvement carries into the school year.
Students attend the Springfield School District, which includes Springfield Literacy Center, Scenic Hills School, Harvey C. Sabold School, E. T. Richardson Middle School and Springfield High School, where a new building opened in 2021. Holy Cross, St. Francis of Assisi and Cardinal O’Hara High School serve many Catholic families. Families here often have tuition, child-related credits, dependent care costs and college expenses on their return. We help parents work out which education credits apply, how Form 1098-T affects the return, and how to plan ahead before a student’s first college tuition bill arrives.
Commuting Through Springfield, and What It Means for Your Taxes
I-476 runs along the township’s western edge, US 1 follows State Road, PA 320 runs along Sproul and Chester Roads, and PA 420 follows Woodland Avenue. SEPTA’s Media–Sharon Hill trolley line and bus routes 107, 109, 110 and 111 serve the township, and Regional Rail stops at nearby Swarthmore and Morton. Springfield is built for commuting, and many residents work in Philadelphia or elsewhere in the region. Now that the township charges its own earned income tax, the tax your employer withholds and the tax you owe at home can overlap in ways that didn’t apply last year. Bargeld Financial reconciles both so you don’t overpay or receive a notice later.
Baltimore Pike’s “Golden Mile” and the Local Business Owner
Baltimore Pike’s long, straight stretch through Springfield became known as the “Golden Mile,” famous for its car dealerships, and it still cuts through residential neighborhoods on both sides. Alongside the dealerships you’ll find Springfield Mall at 1250 Baltimore Pike, which sits within a mile of I-476, as well as restaurants, salons, contractors and professional offices. Small business owners in this corridor need more than a once-a-year return. Bargeld Financial helps with:
Schedule C and entity-level reporting
Quarterly estimated federal, state and local earned income tax payments
Business expense tracking and record-keeping
Planning for when to take distributions, hire, or buy equipment
If you work along the Golden Mile, we also help employees whose income comes from more than one source, such as W-2 wages from a store plus freelance or gig income.
