The state of Ohio has a very complicated system of city and local taxes, which you have to be very mindful of if you live or work in OH. If you live or work in a RITA area in Ohio, you are subject to paying RITA tax. Employers will withhold the correct amount for your earnings in the RITA area. But if you work somewhere else and only live in a RITA area, it is up to you to take care of paying that tax to RITA. The RITA tax rate can be different for the area you work in and for the area you live in, so even if RITA was withheld from your pay, you might owe more to the area you live in. When you prepare your OH return you can do extra steps in the state software to prepare a RITA return or you can do that on your own. It is actually easier to use the RITA site (in my opinion).
TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return. For most local tax returns you are on your own. You may have to ask around amongst your neighbors, etc. to find out if you have a local tax and how to pay it. “Google “ local tax for your area. Call your city government, etc. Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records
