Quick Answer: Use the Ohio School District Tax Finder — the Ohio Department of Taxation’s official The Finder tool (thefinder.tax.ohio.gov). Enter your home address and the tool returns your 4-digit school district income tax code and current rate — the number you need for Form SD 100 and your W-2’s SD box.
How do I use Ohio’s The Finder to get my school district tax number?
Go to thefinder.tax.ohio.gov and enter your home street address. The Finder shows your school district’s name, its 4-digit income tax code, and the current tax rate. Write down the 4-digit code — you will enter it on Form SD 100 and in the SD box on your Ohio return and W-2.
What is the 4-digit school district number?
The 4-digit school district number is the code the Ohio Department of Taxation assigns to each school district that levies an income tax. Your employer uses it to withhold the correct school district tax from your pay, and you report it on Form SD 100.
What is school district code 9999?
Code 9999 is for nonresidents — people who work in an Ohio school district that has an income tax but live outside that district. If school district tax was withheld from your wages but you are not a resident of that district, enter 9999 in the SD box.
What do I put in the SD box on my W-2?
Enter your 4-digit school district income tax code in the SD box on your W-2 so the correct district tax is withheld. If you are a nonresident of the district where you work, use code 9999.
Why did my e-filed Ohio return reject over the school district tax?
E-file rejections are usually caused by an incorrect district number, a missing Form SD 100, or a mismatch between the SD code on your W-2 and your return. Confirm your number with The Finder, correct the code, and retransmit your return.
What if my school district has no income tax?
If your district does not levy an income tax, you owe no school district income tax and do not need to file Form SD 100. Use The Finder to confirm your district’s status — not every Ohio school district has this tax.
Where do I file Form SD 100?
File Form SD 100 with your Ohio individual income tax return (IT 1040). You can file electronically through Ohio’s online filing options or mail the paper form together with your return.
When is Form SD 100 due?
Form SD 100 is due on the same date as your Ohio income tax return — April 15 for calendar-year filers (or the next business day if April 15 falls on a weekend or holiday). You can request an extension, but any tax owed is still due by the original deadline.
