Do youbhave to file for rita in ohio. And if so how

[xmasbaby0]

Ohio has a complicated system of local and city taxes, including RITA tax.  If you live or work in a RITA area, you are subject to paying RITA.   If you work in a RITA area, your employer will withhold the necessary amount from your pay, but if you also live in a RITA area--which might be a different RITA area, you will need to file a return for the RITA area in which you live.   You can do that after you complete your state return with TurboTax or you can go to the RITA site and prepare and file from the RITA site I personally find it easier to use the RITA site.   Various RITA areas may have different tax rates.

Of course----if you live and/or  work in OH you need to be certain of what kind of taxing locality you are in---you might be in something other than a RITA area.......

You must file a RITA return if:

• You lived in a RITA municipality (even if you owe $0)
• OR you worked in a RITA city and taxes weren’t fully withheld
• OR you had business/self-employment income in a RITA city

For OHIO >> TurboTax supports all CCA and RITA returns, close to 300 cities and municipalities in all. Visit each agency's website for a complete listing of CCA member communities and the RITA list. RITA returns must be printed and mailed, even if your Ohio return is e-filed.     You can complete the return when you go through the Ohio state return interview.    See this TurboTax FAQ
