Ohio residents only

For each OH city tax that allows a reciprocal credit, perform the following setup steps:

  1. Choose Setup > System Configuration > Payroll Tax Information > Local. Highlight the appropriate Ohio city tax and click on the General tab to be sure that OH is selected in the State drop-down list.
  2. Click the Special Calculations tab to verify that City is selected in the Tax type drop-down list.
  3. Enter the percentage of allowed credit for this Ohio city in the Reciprocal credit percent field. Click Enter to save your information and then close the Local Tax Information dialog.

For each employee who has an Ohio resident tax as well as other Ohio city taxes, complete the following steps.

  1. Choose Setup > Employees and highlight the employee. Click the Tax Withholdings and Deductions tab.
  2. Click the Item Properties button for the Local Withholding item that represents the employee's Ohio resident tax and be sure the Ohio residence checkbox is marked in the General tab of the Local Withholding Item Properties dialog.

During payroll check entry, the application will perform the reciprocal credit for the Ohio residence for each employee if:

  • other Ohio city taxes are set up on the employee and
  • the taxable wages for the employee include both the city tax and the resident tax.
