After you file

Ohio City income tax cannot be refunded. But, you are not required to file a city income tax return.

You do not need to file a OH tax return, unless your total (not just OH) income for the year was more than $10,850. You are allowed to file to get back any OH withholding (box 17 of the W-2). As previously stated, you can not get the box 19 amount refunded.
