Why do I owe state Ohio taxes this year and I never had to before?

[CatinaT1]

We can't see your return, but I would compare it to your return from last year to see what has changed.

These are the most common things that effect your refund or balance due:

• The amount of federal and/or state withholding;
• Income based credits, such as the Earned Income credit;
• Tax bracket changes
• Change in Filing Status;
• Change in dependents claimed;
• No longer have a child, under age 17, to claim the Child Tax Credit
• Self-employment income generates a self-employment tax as well as income taxes.
