Contact the local municipality directly for more information on how to request a refund. As a reminder, you may also be required to file with the locality where you were working and/or residing but taxes were not reported or withheld.
Employees are responsible for working directly with the local municipality for any tax withholding corrections resulting from late or inaccurate location reporting, including refunds. Payroll will make the changes effective going forward on all future paychecks.
For all localities utilizing the RITA Form 10A, Payroll will complete the employer certification section:
Step 1: Submit a Tax Inquiry in HR Connection.
Note: If you are filing a Form IR-25 or CRISP form with the City of Columbus, an employer certification is not required. You can continue working directly with the City of Columbus without an employer certification.
Step 2: Attach (1) your fully completed and signed form, (2) documentation from your manager confirming your actual work location during the refund request period, and (3) a copy of your W-2 form for the tax year(s) you are requesting a refund.
Allow up to 30 days to review your request and respond. We will review the attached documentation and respond in the Tax Inquiry in HR Connection. If you are submitting a request for employer certification within 30 days of the tax filing deadline, you may want to confirm the deadline for the form you are submitting and consider filing for an extension as needed.
Work with a tax preparer or financial advisor for any questions regarding the form and personal taxes. Payroll partners are not trained tax advisors and will be unable to answer these questions.
