Retirement tax questions
You are correct, except that I am not getting ANY tax credit for Akron, because the RITA program cannot figure out that I live in North Canton, and worked in both Akron and North Canton, so it is attempting to tax me the max amount for BOTH. The buttons in RITA are "yes" for "I earned income at this location", or "no" for I did not earn income at this location, I lived there." There are no other buttons for the local income box designations, so I cannot check one to sort out where I lived. The RITA progam is simply not equipped to handle hybrid work schedules, and that is why it thinks I worked at both, lived in neither, and is trying to tax me double my owed taxes for my income. I have tried talking to my employer (who said they will not change my w2), I have tried talking to my resident city (who told me they don't handle tax issues and to deal with RITA), and with RITA, who seemed to have no idea how to handle the problem. They just suggested I mail my things in and let them file my taxes, but frankly, I don't trust them to do it correctly at this point and fix the problem. They should have anticipated this issue two years ago when the work at home tax laws were passed. Hybird work schedules are not unheard of.
