AutoCalc Individual Tax Form

Instructions for 2011

Note: This form does not work for all tax situations.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH YOUR 2011 FILING.

We encourage you to use our free efiling instead of this Autocalc Form. R.I.T.A. is transitioning away from the Autocalc paper based form after this filing season.

R.I.T.A.'s efiling is free, accurate, fast, and secure with fewer limitations. Refunds are processed faster. eFiling improves our efficiencies and reduces impact on the environment.

Thank you in advance for using eFile!

IF THE BUTTONS ON THIS SHEET DO NOT WORK, YOU NEED TO ADJUST YOUR MACRO SECURITY SETTINGS.  CLICK ON THE TOOLS MENU AND CLICK “OPTIONS”.  CLICK ON THE SECURITY TAB, AND CLICK THE MACRO SECURITY BUTTON.  SET MACRO SECURITY TO LOW, AND CLICK OK.  CLOSE THE PROGRAM, CLICK “SAVE” WHEN PROMPTED AND RE-OPEN THE PROGRAM.

You cannot use this form if any of the following situations apply:

·       You cannot use this Excel based form if you were a resident of Lakemore due to tax rate and/or credit changes during the year. Instead you can simply use R.I.T.A’s Free eFile software program at www.ritaohio.com. eFile will help you to quickly, easily and securely prepare your tax return.

·        You do not have Microsoft Excel 97(or later) and the Microsoft Word applications installed on your computer.

·        You moved during 2011 and need to report non-wage income. Non-wage income is any income that is reported on Federal Schedule “C” or “E”. 

·        Your employer did not withhold municipal tax for a NON-RITA city.

·        Your employer over/under withheld municipal tax.

·        You have more than 16 wage entries.

·        You did not reside in a RITA municipality anytime during 2011.

·        The municipalities reported in Schedule J exceed the number of columns provided.

If you are able to use this form, in addition to the normal instructions for RITA Form 37, please observe the following guidelines. Upon entering your income information, the form will automatically complete Section B.

·        Form is for 2011 tax year only.

·        Residents of Moscow and New Bavaria should ONLY enter income earned after 7/1/2011. Residents of Saint Clairsville should ONLY enter income earned after 4/1/2011. These communities implemented new taxes that are only effective for part of the year.

·        Use drop down city name menus in all sections, except in Section A for address changes.

·        In Section A, enter social security number, name and address and, if applicable, enter previous address and date of move.

·        Enter each wage earned and tax withheld separately in rows 1 through 6 on Section A and, if additional space is needed in rows 1 through 10 in Section A1.  DO NOT DUPLICATE YOUR WAGES IN BOTH SECTION A AND A1. ONLY USE SECTION A1 IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 6 W-2 FORMS.

·        If you moved during 2011, wages and taxes withheld must be prorated and listed separately for each municipality of residence in Sections A and A1.  The from and through dates should also be completed in column 6.

·        Column 5 in Sections A and A1 must be completed for each wage entered.

·        Any tax withheld for your city of residence must be listed in Sections A and A1, column 3.

Remember, you cannot use this form if you moved during 2011 and had non-wage income, the number of cities exceed the number of columns provided, or you were not a resident of a RITA city.
