Net Profit Income Tax Filers – What are your options?
While The Ohio Department of Taxation has opened up registration for net profit taxpayers to opt-in for the filing of your taxes, we ask you to consider whether this is the best option for your business. The Regional Income Tax Agency (RITA) has been accepting these filings for many years and has done so with efficiency and accuracy. The City of Brecksville has been a member of RITA since 1972 and has the utmost confidence in its ability to service all the taxpayers of our City. The Ohio Department of Taxation suggests their new unproven process will be easier. We do not believe that to be the case. We are asking that you go to the link http://ritaperspectives.com/ and review the summary of facts, and share such with your tax preparer before choosing your filing option.
Delinquent Filer Program
