State tax filing

No. School district tax is not municipal income tax. Per the State of Ohio, generally, a four digit code (such as 2509) and/or the codes SD, LSD, CSD listed in box 20 of your W-2 indicates school district tax and SHOULD NOT be reported on your RITA return.

 

Did you file a SD-100 for your school district? If you lived in a taxable school district, you would need to include this form with your return. 

 

You can enter your address in The Ohio School District Tax Finder and find the correct school district code for your district. If your school district is listed at anything other than a 0% tax rate, you have to include Form SD-100. 

 

To add a SD-100 to your return, please follow the instructions below:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click on State on the left hand side.
  3. Click Edit next to Ohio.
  4. Continue through the state questions until you get to a page that is titled A few things before we wrap up your state taxes.
  5. Scroll down on this page until you see School District Taxes.
  6. Click on Start and follow the on-screen instructions. 

Once complete, you can refile your state return.

 

 

Lastly, if you were a resident of a RITA municipality during any part of the year, you must file a return with RITA unless you are eligible to file a Declaration of Exemption. For more information, please see RITA - Do I need to file?
