Form or Return Type FAQ's

  1. You have 4 different RITA returns: Form 37, Form 37A, Form 37B, and Form 37EZ.  Which one should I use?

Form 37: Use this form to report wage and/or Schedule income.

Form 37A: Use this form if you report only wage income and lived in the same city all tax year.

Form 37B: Use this form if reports only wage income, lived in the same RITA city all tax year and this RITA city provides full tax credit.  See list of eligible municipalities on page 6 of 37B instructions.

Form 37EZ: Use this form to report wage income only.  RITA will calculate your tax due.

  1. Am I required to use the pre-printed RITA return that I was mailed?

No.  Please use the RITA form that best suits your needs.  Blank forms and instructions can be printed at Forms & Instructions.

  1. I need to amend my original return.  Do you have amended return forms?

You may amend a prior year’s return subject to statute limitations. RITA maintains prior year forms and instructions at Forms & Instructions. Any amended return should clearly indicate the words “Amended” on the tax form and a written description of why the return is being changed.  Please be sure to check the box marked “Amended” on the RITA return that you are filing.

  1. Do you have a part-year resident return?

You must report the actual income that you earned while you lived in a RITA city. This allocation of income can be pro-rated if necessary based on your date of move if your income was earned evenly throughout the tax year. Be sure to indicate clearly on the tax form your old/new address and date of move. Contact RITA for further details.

  1. Will you accept generic returns?

Yes.  Generic returns must contain the same information required to be reported on a RITA return.

  1. Can I report amounts in whole dollars, without a decimal?

Yes.  You may round up or down to the nearest dollar.
