Do I pay Sharonville Ohio city tax

Sharonville does have a city income tax, but is not a member of CCA or RITA, so you cannot use TurboTax to prepare a return.  You can e-file from the city web site starting Jan 22.  https://www.sharonville.org/133/Tax

You normally only have to file a return in the city you live in. It is not necessary to file one in the city you work in, if different. Your employer will remit withholding to the city you work in, but you do not file a return unless you're claiming a refund or your employer didn't withhold enough ( both highly unusual). The city you live in will allow a credit or partial credit for the withheld tax you paid to the work location city. You may end up owing your resident city nothing, but you are still required to file a return. If you live and work in the same city and your employer did withhold the exact correct amount, you usually still have to file a return. Some cities, like Cincinnati & Toledo, do not require you to file if the exact amount is withheld. Incidentally, employers are only required to withhold for the work city, although many will voluntarily withhold for the resident city as well. Employees of most big companies, in Ohio, seldom owe any city tax, at tax time (but they still have to file a city return), because the employer holds out exactly the right amount for both work and resident city, taking into account the credit.

@Hal_Al
Generally, Turbotax doesn't prepare Ohio city tax returns.  It will for a few that participate in the "common system" and you have to trigger this specifically in the Ohio state interview.  Or, you can get a form from your county clerk's office and do it manually, or take your tax papers to the county clerk and they will calculate your tax for you.

I believe that you pay either where you live, or where you work, but not both (if you live in one city with a tax and work in another city with a tax, you don't pay twice.  But @Hal_Al is the go-to person for Ohio issues.

In some instances in OH you can be required to pay both where you work and where you live if the tax rates are different.  OH is very tricky.  I know a "little" but Hal_Al is the guru.
