Retirement tax questions

The 1.5% N. Canton tax is applied to all your W-2 income*, not just the time you worked at home.  This is because you are taxed for bring a resident of N. Canton, not for working in N. Canton.  Akron will tax you 2.5%, but only on the days you worked in Akron. N. Canton will give you a 1.5% credit for the tax paid to Akron (for the days worked in Akron).

 

*Your wages taxable by the city are usually show in box 18 of the W-2 and, for N. Canton,  should be the same as the amount shown in box 5. 

 

You may have to do the RITA form by hand.
