Question

My employer asked that I not change my address with them when I moved.

I moved from Tennessee to Ohio in April of 2023 and continued my same job but remotely. We use Gusto and after I had updated my address in it, they changed it back and my employer asked for simplicity sake if I wouldn't mind just leaving it as TN and I can update in January of 2024.

As we get closer and closer to the deadline, I'm beginning to worry that I'm going to get dinged because they didn't update it correctly. They're saying it's fine but Ohio has more taxes than TN so I'm not convinced. I don't have extra money lying around to get dinged for hundreds or thousands of dollars. Any thoughts? Thanks!

To clarify----are you saying that no Ohio tax has been withheld from your paychecks, even though you have lived in Ohio since sometime in April 2023? You are going to need to pay Ohio state income tax for the period of time since you began living in Ohio. And.....if you are not yet aware, there are a LOT of city and local taxes in Ohio depending on just where in Ohio you are living---you will have to pay those, too.

TN has no state income tax, but Ohio does have a state income tax, for which you will have to pay at tax time. You will file a part-year Ohio return.

City Tax Returns

TurboTax only prepares a few city or local tax returns as an extra step in your state return. For most local tax returns you are on your own. You may have to ask around amongst your neighbors, etc. to find out if you have a local tax and how to pay it. “Google “ local tax for your area. Call your city government, etc. Your only record of paying your local tax will be your own bank/credit card records

That is correct. They won’t let me update my information in their system to have that automatically charged.

I don’t know what to do as I’ve been trying to update it since April.

For one thing---you could pay estimated tax to Ohio before tax time. Or....start saving up--because you are gong to owe Ohio and maybe you will owe a local or city tax:

Use this link to see if you are in a school district that you will owe tax to, a RITA city, or any other locality that you may owe to. It is a complicated system in Ohio.

This is a very common situation. The employer doesn't want the hassle of withholding tax for a single employee in another state, particularly a state like Ohio, with complex local tax, as well as state tax.

You need to accept the fact, that you need to make quarterly estimated payments to the Ohio Dept. of Taxation (ODT), for state income tax.

To find out if you live in a school district or city with an income tax enter your address at:

http://www.tax.ohio.gov/Individual/LocalTaxInformation.aspx

If you do, you'll need to make separate quarterly payments to the local taxing authority.

For a list of all Ohio cities with an income tax go to

https://tax.ohio.gov/business/municipalities/08municipal-income-tax-forms

From there, there is a link to each city’s web site and/or RITA / CCA (agencies that administer city income tax for many Ohio cities).
