You get a Job with a Cincy Company.  Employer refuses to collect City Income Tax and submit it to the City.
 
What do you do to pay the Tax?
 
1)  Pay it Quarterly which amounts to more time consuming paperwork.
 
2)  Pay it at the end of the year with your City Tax return.
 
3)  Anyother Suggestions?

Pacman- I work full time for the University of Dayton at Wright Patterson AFB. The town of Fairborn doesn't take city taxes out of my paycheck ( I guess because I work on a government installation), so all of my city taxes go back to the city where I live- Middletown. I declare and pay my taxes, quarterly, to the city of Middletown. Does the employer town require a city tax from you? If so, I guess you must do the leg work and contact the city and set up a payment plan. If the employer city doesn't require a city tax (like mine), you must file with your residence town and pay their going rate of taxes, which is what I have to do. If the employer town is 1.5% and the residence town's tax rate is 2.0%, you pay the difference of 0.5% to your residence town.If the employer town tax rate is higher than the residence town, you pay nothing to the residence town. That's as I understand it to be. Sound right- anybody???

I think you got it right VietVet!

Local tax reciprocity is the mutual exchange of specific privileges between two taxing entities. In lay terms, it means the local taxing entity where you live gives you credit for all or part of the amount of local taxes you pay at work.

Why do you damn Ohians got to make taxes so damn difficult. LOL  Now let me throw another monkey wrench into the mess.  My wife doesn't go to Cincy and go to work, she travels between Dayton and Kentucky, so would that be basically working out of your home and Middletown gets all of the Tax.  Man I love Ohio TAXES Dead

According to the letters I get from the city, they want the full years tax in advance, before I have even earned itConfused  I don't think that's constitutional, it would be like me asking the city to provide services for next year right now, I don't think they would do it.  I know this is not the only city to require this but it makes me wonder how legal or ethical it is to ask for money based on an income that hasn't even been earned yet???

I, too, have gotten the "pay us in full" letter from the city of Middletown. I then ignore that, declare my income at the beginning of the year and pay them quarterly as they bill me. Seems to work for me and the city as they haven't indicated that they have a problem with it. Have done this method for years.As a side note: My wife, who has worked for 30 years and now is medically unable due to 4 bypasses and 2 heart attacks, must file even though her Social Security Disability income is not taxable. She declares 0 income on all tax forms (except her disability) and still has to file with this city. This is a waste of time in paperwork and to have a city employee review it.Why does this city require all people, whether you have an income or not, to file? Just clogs the system with paperwork and doesn't benefit the city at all as to revenue.

That's a good question. I know a guy who is homeless and lives on the street. He is mentally unstable. I try to feed him every chance I get and see that he is ok. He draws a disability check which is not taxable. He received a letter at his father's house asking for taxes to be filed for several years. I called the city tax division and explained the situation to them, that he probably isn't even aware of what they want and he DOES NOT OWE any taxes.  Long story short, he was arrested, spent the week-end in jail and now has a big fine to pay for failure to file. He most likely will not pay the fine, I think it was $500.00, so, he will go back to jail when they catch up with him again. I just hope they wait til winter so he will have a warm place to sleep. Go Middletown!

Really, how much time and money is involved in dealing with zero tax returns.

wannaknow- Middletown requires all residents to file city income tax. If your friend draws a disability check like my wife does, he, like my wife, is required to file, claiming the disability payouts for the year. The city will then determine that it is not taxable income (which we already knew) and he will owe them nothing. Bottom line- the city still requires everyone to file if a resident, even though the income is not taxable. He doesn't have to keep going to jail. He just needs to fill out a city income tax form providing his yearly income. He was arrested for not filing- not because he owed them anything. He didn't need to pay them $500 bucks. He just needs to fill out a form which takes all of five minutes and submit it. It's like the old street camera fines- squeezing all the money they can from any source they can because they're too ignorant to generate revenue any other way. Is this town a great place or what!!!!!
