 Enlarge image | RITA’s instructions for filing are designed to cover the process of filling out the paper form by following a prescriptive, detailed model. These instructions are, by necessity, more detailed because they must accommodate taxpayers needing to file with more than one municipality on the same form. RITA’s MyAccount and FastFile each provide a simple question and answer approach to step you through filing your return electronically. Visit ritaohio.com and file today. If you still prefer paper, but are uncomfortable completing the Form 37, please fill out the Municipal Income Tax Info Sheet and attach your tax documents. You can drop this in the mail OR at one of our drop boxes, and we will prepare your return for you. |
