Frequently Asked Questions
I live in a suburb but work in Columbus — which city tax do I owe?
We review your W-2 and residency to determine Columbus, RITA, or credit situations. Rules vary by address.
What is RITA?
RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) collects municipal income tax for many Central Ohio suburbs. We file RITA returns at the same time as your Ohio return.
My employer withheld Columbus tax but I live outside the city — can I get a credit?
Often yes. We compare withholding to what you actually owe based on your home address and work location.
