Q. Live in Ohio and work in Kentucky. Can I get Kentucky local income tax refunded or a credit on my Ohio state tax return?
A. No.
The reciprocal agreement, on state taxes, does not apply to KY city or county tax. They are allowed to withhold that from your pay. You cannot get a refund from the KY city or county. You also cannot get a credit on your Ohio state return.
But if you live in an Ohio city with a tax, they may give you a credit or partial credit. Many do. You need to check with your city.
If you are subject to Ohio School District Income Tax (SDIT), you can not get a credit, for KY local taxes withheld, on an SDIT return.
