Does turbo tax handle Rita

You can prepare your RITA tax when you prepare your Ohio return using TurboTax. You have to take extra steps in the state program in order to do so. Actually I find it easier to use the RITA site instead of using TT for RITA, but you can decide.

Q. When I file with turbo tax, do they file my Rita tax?

A. No. The RITA form 37 can only be filed by paper mail.

Q. Does turbo tax handle Rita?

A. Yes. But,TurboTax (TT) does not automatically prepare a RITA (city) return, you must initiate it. At the screen, in the Ohio program, titled
"A few things before we wrap up your state taxes"
      scroll down to Ohio City taxes.
Or, later
"Your 2021 Ohio Taxes are ready for us to check"
    -Click Other situations
    -Scroll down to Ohio City taxes.

TT cannot e-file an Ohio City or RITA return. It must be printed and mailed.

I actually find it easier to fill out a city return by hand or at the RITA web site, than to use TT. Things don't happen automatically and you need to know what you’re doing. The actual RITA/city forms are easier to follow than the TT interview..
