Dayton questions
Asked by your neighbors.
Don't see yours? Ask Kathy or call us.
Do I have to file a Dayton city return?
Dayton has a 2.5% income tax. Even when your employer withholds it, side income, refunds or working in another city can still mean a filing. We check it every time.
I live in a suburb but work in Dayton. What do I owe?
You may owe tax where you work and where you live, with a credit between them. Your preparer works out the right amount for both cities.
Is the AI interviewer accessible?
Yes. Kathy takes spoken answers, reads questions aloud, has no time limit and works with screen readers. You can always switch to a person.
Are you hiring preparers in Dayton?
Yes. We're building a remote team of 100 preparers for the 2027 season, and no prior tax experience is required to start training. Apply on our careers page.
