Enter an Ohio School District for Tax Calculation

An employee must complete and submit a Withholding Exemption Certificate that identifies their school district if:

• You hired them as a new employee in Ohio

• They moved into a taxable school district

Note:

Not all school districts use allowances. Some use flat rates. The payroll process checks these tax components in this order to determine an employee's Ohio school district.

1. OH state tax component on the Tax Withholding card based on the resident tax address

2. OH county tax component

3. OH city tax component

You don't enter allowances for the school district at the county or city level.

To update the tax card:

1. Start the Calculation Entries task.

2. Search for the employee, and open their Tax Withholding card for editing.

3. Click Regional.

4. Open the Ohio component for editing.

   Create it if it doesn't exist.

5. In State Tax Information, select the school district of residence.

   If there're multiple valid school districts, it lists them in this order.

   1. Person's US resident tax address

   2. Person's US home address

6. If you don't see the school district you want:

   1. Click Cancel to return to the Tax Withholding card.

   2. In Regional, open the Ohio city component for editing.

      Add it if it doesn't exist.

   3. Select the school district.

7. If you still don't see the school district, check your US Resident Tax address and US home address to ensure the school district applies to that address.
