If I live outside city limits and my employer is outside city limits do I still pay local tax?

[EricZ · Accepted solution]

No, you do not pay local income taxes to a city where you do not live or work.

So I end up paying no local income (city) income tax?

[EricZ]

Correct.  May I ask what is your concern?  Is money being pulled from your check from a city where you do not live and do not work?

I got married last year. I pay city tax because I work in the city. He doesn’t have any withheld and I want to make sure that’s correct. Not sure how this will effect a joint return.
