My W-2 has differing amounts in the federal income box, the local income box and the medicare box. Which amount should I show as taxable wages for my city income tax return?
Beginning in 2004, the Ohio Revised Code states that qualifying wages are the taxable wages for the City. Qualifying wages are typically Medicare wages (Box 5 on the W-2). Because of various federal deferral programs available, taxable wages may not always be the same for federal tax purposes, Medicare purposes, and city tax purposes.Taxable gross wages, for city purposes, is any income not expressly excluded by the Carlisle Income Tax Ordinance and includes any income earned, received, accrued or in any other way set apart unto Carlisle residents or unto any non-residents performing services in Carlisle.
