I live in a small town near Dayton, OH. This is my first time filing taxes with 401k contributions.
I sent this email to individualtax@city.cleveland.oh.us
I have some 401k contributions. My wages box on w-2 is 50661 which subtracts my 401k contributions as it should. Even my state wages box is the same. But when I go to file my local return on this website, my taxable income is 51907.87 which adds my 401k contributions! Shouldn't my local tax be calculated on 50661?
Their response was:
Whatever box on the W-2 indicates the highest wage figure is what we are required to use. So, if the high wage figure is $51, 907.87, then that is the figure you will need to use. Get back to me with any additional questions or concerns.
