WELCOME TO THE CITY OF CINCINNATI 
     
 To set up an account with the City of Cincinnati Income Tax Division you will need to complete 
 the New Account Application and send to our office by fax to (513) 352-2542 or e-mail to the 
 following - tax.webmaster@cincinnati-oh.gov. 
                                                                                                 
 You can also register for an account online at https://web2.civicacmi.com/Cincinnati. 
     
 There are two type of accounts for businesses. One is a Business (Net Profit) account and the 
 other is a Withholding account as explained below.  
     
 NET PROFIT 
     
 Business  net  profit  tax  applies  to  Corporation,  S-Corporation,  Partnership  or  any  of  the 
 Business Entities identified on the application doing business in the city.  Filing is mandatory, 
 which means that an annual Cincinnati Business Tax Return must be filed whether or not any 
 tax is due.  
     
 PAYROLL WITHHOLDING 
     
 As a Cincinnati employer you are required to withhold income tax from the qualifying wages of 
 employees working in Cincinnati or residing in Cincinnati. Please check the box to indicate the 
 withholding frequency as defined on the application. 
     
 There are many Cincinnati postal codes and not all are located in the city. If you only need to 
 create  a  Payroll  Withholding  account,  please  go  to  our  Street  Guide  listing  at      
 https://www.cincinnati-oh.gov/finance/income-taxes/resources-references/street-listings-guide/ 
 and  verify  that  the  employee  address  is  located  in  the  city  limits  before  submitting  the 
 application.  For  help  in  determining  if  an  address  is  in  or  out  of  the  city  you  can  call  our 
 Customer  Service  line  at  513-352-2546  or  e-mail  us  at tax.webmaster@cincinnati-oh.gov  for 
 assistance.  
  
 INDIVIDUAL  
  
 Individuals are not required to file a tax return with the City of Cincinnati if the employer is fully 
 withholding the tax due. An account would need to be established if the employer does not fully 
 withhold or if the taxpayer has self employment income through Federal Schedule C or other 
 non wage taxable earnings. In that case the taxpayer can create an account online or we will 
 assign an account number when the initial tax return is filed. The account may be created online 
 at https://web2.civicacmi.com/Cincinnati.
