Dear Taxpayer, 
 
Use the Non-Resident Employee Refund Application if your request is for  
days worked outside of Akron. You must complete the entire form. Then have  
the days worked in Akron verified for accuracy by your employer. (The  
appropriate individual is one who has legal authority to sign for the company 
and knows your work schedule.)  
 
In addition, please be advised that we will be notifying your resident city. It  
appears that one of the intentions of the new State law is to hold the employee 
responsible to pay either the city where the work was performed or the base 
city of employment, when both are taxing municipalities. Since you are  
receiving a refund of taxes withheld for your base city of employment, the city 
of residence may elect to pursue recovery of these dollars. 
 
Refunds are issued within 90 days after the City has receipt of the correctly 
completed Refund Application and itinerary forms, or after receipt of the  
employer’s correct AW-3 reconciliation form, including all W-2 information,  
whichever is later.  
 
Sincerely,  
Income Tax Division
