IMPORTANT CHANGES TO WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS
Please be advised that municipal income tax withholding due dates and related thresholds are changing as noted below. These changes are the result of the enactment of House Bill 5 by the State legislature.
Monthly Filing and Payment
Monthly filing and payment is required if an employer has withheld with respect to a municipality more than $2,399 in the immediately preceding calendar year, or more than $200 in any one month in the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The due date for Monthly filers is the 15th day of the month following the month withheld.
Quarterly Filing and Payment
Quarterly filing and payment is required if an employer has withheld with respect to a municipality $2,399 or less in the immediately preceding calendar year, or $200 or less for each month in the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The due date for Quarterly filers is the 15th day of the month following the end of the quarter.
In addition to these changes to withholding tax filing requirements, H.B. 5 also includes changes to the occasional entrant provisions, penalty and interest rates, annual tax return and estimated tax payment due dates and thresholds, and other items.

Dear Members,
Due to the latest recommendations issued by the Ohio Department of Health and Governor DeWine, the Regional Income Tax Agency will be suspending all in-person taxpayer assistance effective Saturday, March 14, 2020, until further notice. This includes all Taxpayer Assistance Events hosted by member municipalities as well as in-person service provided in all of the RITA offices. We believe it is in the best interest of public and employee health and safety to temporarily suspend these services.
RITA's call center will remain open and available for taxpayer calls. In addition, RITA offers several secure, simple and convenient online ways to file returns, make payments, review account information, even send a message to a RITA agent through MyAccount, all available at www.ritaohio.com.
As a reminder, the municipal filing deadline, by statute, mirrors the State of Ohio income tax filing deadline. As discussion continues at the state and federal level about the extension of the income tax filing deadline, we will reconsider the resumption of in-person service. We will continue to keep you apprised of developments. Thank you for your support.
If you have any questions or need assistance please contact Member Services at 866-252-0913 or memberservices@ritaohio.com.
