I work in a city that has a 1% local tax rate and I reside in a city that has a 2% local tax rate, yet my employer only withheld local taxes to my city of employment. How do I meet my 2% total local tax obligation to my city of residence?

You may request that your employer withhold an additional 1% in local tax to your city of residence. The 1% tax due your city of residence is considered an alternate tax due as a result of working in a city that has a tax rate that is less than the tax rate of your residence city. Your employer is not required to withhold the alternate tax, however many employers will withhold the alternate tax due to your city of residence if you request them to. Your employer may contact our Withholding Section at (614) 645-8368 if they have any questions.
