Local taxes, or income taxes collected by the city, or municipality, you live in can be challenging - especially if you're using a tax preparation professional that is not local to the Cleveland area and subsequently not familiar with the tax collection agencies in our Cleveland, Ohio area.
Is Parma a RITA Municipality? How do I Know if I Owe RITA Taxes?
For example; Parma, Parma Heights and a handful of other cities collect their own income taxes from residents while Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) and Central Collection Agency (CCA) collects for many other cities and municipalities throughout Ohio. We've compiled a list with links to RITA's Cuyahoga County member municipalities on this page as well as a list of CCA's Northeast Ohio Full Members, Special Members and Joint Economic Development District (JEDD) members for your convenience.
Knowing the difference in the distinction between a full, special and JEDD member is critical to filing your income taxes correctly - another complication that an out-of-state tax preparation professional is likely not to understand. This information is subject to change, can be complicated and a Northeast Ohio tax preparation professionals, like the team at Ken-Mar Tax, should be consulted when determining how to file your Cleveland area municipality income taxes.
