Title: Do you have to file city taxes?
Post by: dmitchn1 on February 06, 2013, 04:08:39 pm

I know this is a stupid question but every year for the past 8 years I file my federal and state taxes but I had no idea there was a city tax that you file too!!!??? I thought it was included in the state? It's not even an option when you file online through h&r block! So is it a mandatory thing or what???

I don not have to file city tax becuase we live outside of our city limits. I am rural.

That's what I assumed... that it's figured in to your state taxes but I'm not sure?

It just depends on where you live and work.  In Indiana, local/city taxes are in the state rate.  In Ohio and Kentucky, though, there are some places that have a city tax that is paid separately from state tax.  You need to check the tax offices of where you work and live.

I personally file a city tax return every year, but every city is different.  Really depends on where you are from.

If it is required, it must be part of the state filing form.  I have never filed a separate form for the city.

Here in Texas we do not as of yet have either a state or city income tax.  Instead we have a higher sales tax.
