Joel Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have a Ohio return with need for a Newark City tax form. Newark is not listed in the cities of Ohio on ATX and I cannot find a universal form. Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Add new forms. Type in "oh" then "g". Choose the general form. There will be a drop down box in the information page to allow you to choose the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janitor Bob Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Spot on Jack.....I actually like using the generic form better than trying to use the city-specific forms as I did in the past.....waiting for the forms to be released and constantly adjusting to a new form was maddening....almost all cities accept the generic, so generic it is. I do have to say, however, that the generic does not have a good way of calculating the percentage of unreimbursed employee expenses to deduct. City of Sidney allows a percentage based on unreimbursed employee expenses as a percentage of total Sch A deductions. with the generic form I need to complete that formula by hand on Sidney City printed tax form and then transfer the total to the generic form in ATX. I also then attach the page of the paper Sidney form that has my calculation to the generic to mail to Sidney....just so they know that I correctly arrived at my deduction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I like the drop down box for choosing the city this year. MUCH better than last year. I am using the generic 99% of the time. Even for RITA. Did I say that I hate the RITA forms? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulH Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 So RITA has no problem accepting the General form? How about CCA? That would simplify things a lot. It would be even better if the general form would pick the residence and work cities from the W-2s, and the city tax rates, credit rates, and credit limits from a table. It's always annoyed me that the RITA form forces you to enter the W-2 information again. I guess ATX is trying to sell its city tax add-on software. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margaret CPA in OH Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 I really dislike how RITA lumps everything together. I have a client with rentals in 3 different munis and 2 have net income, one has a loss. So I have to keep a separate record of this and finagle tax due or not. And it changes sometimes. The also don't have the same tax rate so estimated payments are a challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack from Ohio Posted March 15, 2014 Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 ALL Ohio cities MUST accept the general forms. It is part of the Ohio Revised Code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Posted March 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks. I knew it had to be there somewhere, but seemed to have a brain-fart when I was looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
