IMPORTANT TAX INFORMATION – HARRISON 2006 TAX FILING YEAR

• Due date for filing tax return has been changed to April 16, 2007 (only tax year 2006)

• We have mandatory filing. All residents are required to file a return whether or not any tax is due regardless if you rent or own. If for some reason you do not have any taxable income for the year you need to return your Harrison tax form with an explanation.

• To provide you with greater payment convenience can now use Visa and MasterCard to pay your Harrison Income Tax. A convenience fee of 3% will be charged to your account.

• Additional tax forms are available at the following web address www.harrisonohio.org.

• A copy of first page of your Federal Income Tax Return must be included with your City of Harrison Income Tax Return. This will help ensure that all taxable income is reported to the City and that nontaxable income is not included on the City return. Any federal schedules that support items listed on the City return must also be included (e.g. Schedule E, C and F etc.).

• We do not collect or refund taxes under $5.00.

• We give credit up to 1% on qualified wages which were tax by another city but NO CREDIT FOR COUNTY TAX.

• If you need an extension to file. A copy of your Federal extension request or written extension request must be received by April 16th. Payment in full of your tax liability must accompany the extension request since an extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay the tax due.

• Married Joint returns: Taxpayers who are married but file “married filing separate” for federal income tax purposes money will sometimes be saved. On the local tax return there is no savings or tax advantage. Therefore we only want one return to be filed for local tax purposes by married taxpayers. Please attach both first pages of each of your Federal tax forms to the Harrison tax return.

• If your employer does not withhold a Harrison tax or another city tax from your wages, you are required to file an annual Declaration of Estimated Tax and make quarterly payments. Your estimate should not be less than last year’s earnings unless otherwise noted. The first quarter for 2007 is due by April 16th filing date even if you have an extension; the remaining balance will be billed quarterly.

• We are happy to prepare your City of Harrison Income Tax Return for you at no charge. Please bring your W-2’s, and copy of the first page of your Federal Income Tax return and any appropriate federal schedules. Our office is located in the Community Center at 300 George Street. City of Harrison’s Tax Department is open daily from 8:00AM to 4:30PM Monday thru Friday with exception of holidays.
