Joint Economic Districts (JEDDs) or Joint Economic Development Districts (JEDZs) 
Most RITA revenue sharing districts (JEDDs and JEDZs) require taxpayers to file annual Net Profit returns separately from the related municipal tax authority, meaning net profits must 
be allocated to revenue sharing districts as if the districts are separate, stand-alone municipalities.  However, the following JEDDs or JEDZ require that you file the annual Net Profit 
return with the related tax authority
