I've already prepped my federal and state taxes (I owe on both; just a few bucks to the state but several hundred to the IRS, but let's not talk about that!). The problem is my local taxes. I have an extremely complicated local tax situation, as you'll see:

1.) I started off the year living, let's say, in City A and working in City B. City A's local income tax is 2.85% and City B's is 1.75%. The firm I worked for was deducting local taxes for City B, not City A where I actually lived, at the City B rate.

2.) In March, I received paychecks from my current job in City C, with an income tax rate of 3.4%, while still living in City A. However, I've only just now discovered that my job in City C has only been deducting at 1% for my local taxes, even though the job is located in City C at 3.4%.

3.) From April through the end of September, I lived and worked in City C, all the while having only 1% deducted from my taxes. I also acquired, in June, a second job in City C. I forget what rate they withheld at for my local taxes, but I don't think it was enough.

4.) Finally, in October, I moved to City D, whose local tax rate is only 1%. I continued to work both jobs in City C.

To recap:

City A: 2.85%, where I lived but did not work from January-March.

City B: 1.75%, where I worked but did not live from January-February.

City C: 3.4%, where I lived and worked from April-September.

City D: 1&, where I lived but did not work from October-December.

So:

1.) Who do I file taxes for? My gut says only cities A, C, and D.

2.) Which income do I report to each? Only the income I made while I was living there?

3.) How do I figure out how much tax I owe to each and how much was actually deducted while I lived in each city?

:wacko:

Thanks to anyone who can sort this out.

I'm under the impression that local tax is determined on the city in which you live. So if you lived in a city that requires 1% tax, but worked in a city where they deducted 2% you'd have an overpayment. A,C, D?
