Q. Does the city I live in look at local taxes altogether from both jobs combined or each job separately?
A. Each Job separately.
Q. Would the job where 2% of my check is withheld need me to pay an additional .5% to the city i live in?
A. Yes
Akron allows a 100% credit for tax paid to another city, but not more than 2. 5%. So, for the 80% city you get a 2.5% credit. For the 20% city your get a 2% credit.
Bottom line: you owe Akron 0.5% tax on 20% of your income.
Akron is not a RITA or CCA city, so you can't do an Akron return, in TT.
You can prepare a return and e-file at the city web site
