Ohio
Employee Obligations (Which Returns YOU Must File)
Since Texas has no income tax, you won't face double taxation. However, if you physically work in Ohio, you may owe Ohio income tax (Flat 2.75% (2026) on income over approximately $26,050) and need to file a nonresident Ohio return.
Employer Obligations (What Your Employer Must Withhold & Remit)
Register for withholding and unemployment from day 1. Must register with each municipality — there are nearly 600 taxing cities. Workers' comp is a monopolistic state. Unemployment applies to the first $9,000 of wages.
City & Local Income Taxes (Extra Filings Beyond the State Return)
Ohio has the most city income taxes in the country with nearly 600 cities charging 1% to 2.75%. Nonresidents pay the same rate as residents. Columbus 2.5%, Cleveland 2.5%, Cincinnati 1.8%, Toledo 2.5%, Akron 2.5%, Youngstown 2.75%. Separate city returns are required (many processed via RITA). School district taxes are resident-only. The M1CR credit does NOT cover city taxes.
