Ohio has state tax withholding, based on tax tables
that are similar to the federal payroll withholding
tables. The withholding tables changed in 2010,
and in every other year since 2006 (the only
changes to the withholding tax formulas since 1988).
Ohio also has local income taxes in many cities, villages
and school districts.
HINT-- Turtle Creek Software provides free annual updates for
US federal and Ohio state tax withholding rates.

State Unemployment Tax Instructions |
In 2010, Ohio state unemployment insurance tax

that has remained unchanged for many
years. The rate for new companies is
5% for construction companies and 2.7%
for others. After the first year

.4% and the highest is 11.3%.

LOCAL TAXES |
Ohio includes several hundred additional local
tax withholdings for school districts,
cities and villages. Starting in 2008,
we are providing each locality as a
separate Tax Item. You'll need to set
up a Tax Package for each locality
or group of localities for which you
need to collect taxes.
To set up a new local tax package, follow
these steps:
- Choose Payroll Setup
from the Costs menu, and choose Tax Packages
from the submenu.
- Click on one of the
existing packages, and click the Duplicate
button.
- Put a checkmark next
to each tax that is included in this
package.
- Click OK.
- Repeat steps 2 to 4 for each locality for which
you collect taxes.
After you create the new packages, assign them
to each employee. |
