Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hello @Cobainian  

In general, the taxpayer will pay taxes where the money is earned; And must pay taxes where we live (resident state). But there is help. These agencies do not wish to double tax. So you may claim a credit for taxes paid to any state that is not your resident state. The credit will be applied directly to your resident state. This will reduce how much taxes you then have to pay to your resident state. 

 

RITA, is a method that some Ohio municipalities use to collect taxes. RITA has no authority to levy taxes, and is not responsible for the rates that a municipality set.  Rita are your local taxes and must be paid as well. If you pay you should only pay Rita for your municipality in OH. 

 

If you pay RITA in WV as well, then you can apply for credit for taxes paid to WV. The credit will be applied to your OH Local taxes.
