CITY TAX FACTS
Did you know:
v
Your
mailing address, which merely designates the post office that process
your mail, or your school district does not always reflect the City
taxing jurisdiction in which you live. Not sure where you
actually live? Check the street list under the Residential tab
to verify City residency or call the tax office at 837-4116.
v
Pickerington Local School District income tax (SD2307) is a separate
tax from the Pickerington City income tax and is collected by the
State of Ohio and cannot be used as a credit on the City tax return.
A school tax form SD100 must be filed with the State annually and
school tax withholding is claimed on that form.
v
Social Security benefits, pension income, welfare payments, State
unemployment, Workers Compensation, interest and dividends are not
subject to City tax.
v
The filing deadline for calendar year taxpayers is April 15th.
All extension requests must be submitted on or before this date.
v
If you do not have City of Pickerington tax withheld from your
earnings, you must file a declaration of estimated tax and remit
quarterly installments totaling that estimate.
v
You are not liable for tax if you are under 18 years of age and if
your employer withheld tax from your wages, you are eligible for a
refund.
v
All residents 18 years and older, must file an annual tax return for
all or any part of a year.
v
All married couples should file jointly with the City, as you are on
one account in our records. How you file Federally does not
impact your City return.
v
W2 forms and all applicable Federal Schedules must be included with
City returns to provide audit capabilities. Credits or refunds
cannot be issued without documentation.
v
You will receive credit of 1/2% (.005) against
our 1% (.01) tax on any of your wages that are taxed by another city
and not refunded. W2 forms or a city return showing tax paid to
another city must be included to receive the credit. You do not
get credit for the tax you paid to another city. Credit
calculation example: $50,000 income X .005 = $250 credit
v
If you receive a refund of any or all the tax you paid to another
city, an amended Pickerington return must be filed to pay back
the 1/2% credit, if taken originally.
v
Self-employment income, net income from rentals, tips, commissions,
etc., are taxable to the City as earned income. If you have
rental property or other business income, you must file, even if you
show a loss.
ESTIMATED TAX INFORMATION
REQUIREMENT: According to Pickerington Codified Ordinance Section
882.08(d), those residents who do not have City of Pickerington tax
withheld from their wages and expect to have a tax liability of $50 or
more, must pay an estimate. Partial year residents need to estimate on
their partial year income.
QUARTERLY PAYMENTS: Quarterly payments on the estimated amount are due
April 15, July 15, October 15, and December 15. Payment vouchers are
included with the yearly tax return. Remittance may be made without a
voucher by including the account number or Social Security number,
name, and address.
SAFE HARBOR: The estimated amount must be equal to 100% of the
previous full year's tax liability or 90% of the current year's tax
liability to avoid insufficient estimate penalties.
PENALTY: If an estimated amount is required and not paid, the taxpayer
may be subject to a non-compliance fee of $25, penalty charge of 10%
of balance, and interest charge of 1.5% of balance per month from due
date.
AMENDMENT: Estimates may be amended at this time by indicating the new
estimate amount in the "amended estimate" box provided. After
subtracting previous payments from the revised estimate
amount, the remainder must be remitted by the December due date.
ASSISTANCE: For help in preparing an estimate or for questions
concerning the City of Pickerington's Income Tax liability, please
call the City's Income Tax office at 837-4116 during business hours.
