Taxes Q&A

All Hilliard residents who are 18 and older must file a tax return with the City of Hilliard every year, regardless of whether they owe money or pay local income taxes to another municipality.

Residents can file taxes electronically or use the income tax return form available through the Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA), which processes City income tax returns and collects the taxes that are due.

The deadline to submit your tax return in 2022 is April 18, 2023.

Any earned income is taxable. More info can be found at www.ritaohio.com.

Retirement income, unemployment income and certain disabilities are not considered taxable incomes. More information can be found at www.ritaohio.com.

Hilliard gives credit to taxes paid in other cities up to 2.5%. So, if you work in another municipality where income taxes are 2.5% or higher, you will pay no income taxes to the City of Hilliard. However, you still must file a local income tax form, even if you pay taxes to another municipality.
