What employers withhold

Ohio employers withhold municipal income tax for the city or village where the employee works. If an employee works in Springfield, withhold 2.4% of their qualifying wages for Springfield. Short stays in another municipality can be treated differently; check with RITA before you change withholding.

Springfield residents who pay tax to the city where they work get a credit of 50% of that tax, limited to 2.4% of the wages. If the credit doesn't fully cover Springfield's 2.4%, residents owe the difference, and some employers withhold it as a courtesy.
