Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)

If you physically work in Colorado, file a nonresident Colorado return (tax rate: Flat 4.4%). Then file your Ohio return and claim the Ohio IT 1040 Schedule of Credits credit so you don't get taxed twice on the same income.

Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)

Effective January 1, 2026, FAMLI benefit payments are subject to FICA and FUTA for employers with 10 or more employees; FAMLI handles employee-side FICA withholding on benefit payments.
