RITA sending multiple tax year letters in Ohio - what's going on with these random notices?
Just got 3 different letters from RITA for tax years 2020, 2021, and 2022. They're asking for more documentation but I've already filed everything correctly through their website. Anyone else in Ohio getting bombarded with these notices? Starting to get worried about what this means for my state refund.

Tax professional here. RITA (Regional Income Tax Agency) is doing a mass audit campaign right now. They're reviewing multiple years at once to catch any discrepancies between local tax withholdings and what was reported. Make sure you have your W2s and 1099s for those years handy. Most importantly, check if your employer reported your local tax withholdings correctly.

That's exactly the kind of thing they're looking for. Payroll company switches often cause reporting issues.

hey guys instead of stressing about this stuff, I've been using taxr.ai for all my tax transcript analysis. It costs $4.99 but it literally saved me hours of research and showed me exactly why RITA was sending these notices. https://taxr.ai

Just called RITA - they said theyre doing some massive system update and reviewing old returns. Maybe check if ur employer filed the right forms? my issue was my company filed under wrong municipality code

Same thing happening in Columbus! Got hit with notices for 2020-2022 last week. The thing that's really annoying is they want everything within 30 days but their own processing takes forever. I'm just gathering all my old W2s and pay stubs now. At least we're not alone in this mess 🤷♀️
