The State of Ohio made significant changes to the Ohio Municipal Income Tax Laws (Chapter 718 of the ORC), effecting tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, including changes to Interest Rates, Late Fees, and Due Dates of Individual Estimated Payments. The State also allowed Municipalities to require that the Federal Income Tax Return (1040, 1040A, 1040 EZ) be attached to the local Individual Income Tax Return. Please NOTE: Federal Form 1040, pages 1 and 2, ALL Form(s) W-2, and Federal Schedules (i.e. Schedule 1, Schedule C, Schedule E, Schedule F, K-1's etc) must be attached to the Evendale Individual Income Tax Return in order for your return to be considered complete.
DECLARATION OF ESTIMATED TAX: must be filed by every taxpayer who anticipates taxable income, if such income is not withheld by an employer. The declaration and first quarterly estimated tax payment are due by April 15th. For Businesses, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarterly estimated tax payments are due by June 15th, September 15th, and December 15th, respectively. For Individuals, the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarterly estimated tax payments due by June 15th, September 15th, and January 15th, respectively. At least 90% of the tax liability must be paid on or before the 4th quarterly due date in order to avoid interest and penalty for underpayment of estimated tax.
EXTENSIONS Effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2016, any taxpayer that has requested a Federal Extension will automatically receive the same extension for filing the Evendale Income Tax Return. The Federal Extension should be attached to the Evendale return upon filing. The Extension is not required to be submitted by the original due date of the return. Any taxpayer that has not received a Federal Extension may still request an extension for time to file their Evendale Income Tax Return in writing by the original due date of the return. Any extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay any tax due. The 2021 tax due must be paid by April 18, 2022. Requests for extension may be faxed to the Tax Department at (513) 563-4636.
