Tax Filing Information
2018 VILLAGE OF LINCOLN HEIGHTS INCOME TAX FILING INFORMATION
Your return is due by the Federal deadline in April 2019; even if you do not have any taxable income and even if no tax is due. The Village of Lincoln Heights has mandatory filing for all residents (age 18 and older), business owners, and landlords, commercial and residential.
As in the past, residents who work outside Lincoln Heights and pay other municipality income tax receive a 1% credit (not to exceed 1% of the amount of income on which tax was withheld) for taxes paid to other municipalities.
Example:
- In 2018, a Lincoln Heights resident works in Cincinnati, earns $50,000/year
- Resident has Cincinnati tax of 2.1% withheld from paycheck totaling $1,050.
- Lincoln Heights will allow a credit up to 1% of $50,000 or $500.00.
- Total Lincoln Heights Liability: $50,000 x 2.0% = $1,000 - $500.00 = $500.00 balance due.
- A 2019 Estimate will also need to be set up in the amount of $500.00, with $125.00 paid quarterly.*
