Hello there, @kend2.
I'm here to share some information about setting up your Ohio Local Income Tax in QuickBooks Desktop.
For starters, local income tax is an additional impose by several states including Ohio. These are applied to people who live or work in the locality. While School District Tax is a specific local tax imposed by schools to help fund school operating expenses.
On the other hand, in setting up your OH-School District taxes you'll only select User-defined if you can't see the predefined tax form on the list. To search for a specific local income tax form, here's how:
- Go to Employees.
- Look for the employee you want to set up.
- Double click on the employees name to open Edit Employee window.
- Go to Payroll Info.
- Click Taxes button.
- Choose the Other tab.
- Click on the drop-down arrow under Item Name window
- Select Add new.
- In the Add New Payroll, click the drop-down arrow and look for OH-School District.
- Follow the rest of the on-screen instruction to complete the process.
I'd also recommend reaching out to your accountant or contact your Local Tax agency so you'll be guided accurately with other specific tax-related inquiries.
Stay in touch with me and let me know how it works on your end. I 'm always here to help you in making sure your state tax is set up properly on your end.
