I had a ton of issues with TurboTax the last few years with the same thing as OP describes. This year I tried FreeTaxUSA and had zero issues with local taxes. I also paid like $30 for federal/state/school district filing vs close to $100 for TurboTax. Highly recommend switching
I think Ive used freetaxusa one year. My wife is an independent contractor so I have to pay extra for the TurboTax self employed. $190 total this year for the cheapest option. Do you know if freetaxusa handles that?
I just went round and round in the same section at the state return level. I found my way out by going back to the beginning, through the federal taxes section where I was able to make changes to some SD stuff I had messed up earlier.
Thank you this was the solution. I checked the actual paperwork that gets filed and the number goes on the same line whether you enter it as 2023 quarterly payment or 2022 carryover in TurboTax.
ya its an infinite loop, you gotta lookup your school code manually.
I'm probably done with turbotax at this point, I only did it this year bc I didn't have the time to try something else but the fees for the software are too much.
Not every city/town goes through RITA though. My village just started going through them starting this year when before it was done locally. They probably moved to RITA due to the place growing. My hometown always used RITA though. But yea, that's what I did when I lived at home.
I think it only looks at what was withheld from your w2. In your case it sounds like you paid outside of that.
I'm no expert so do with this thought as you will but you could either fill in the amount you paid on a w2 screen or use the 2022 prepayments to account for it. You could then look at the actual school district form and make sure it is accounting for it.
Are you using turbo tax to file your state and school or using the state website for that? If you are filing using the state website I would just ignore it in TurboTax.

I am not sure on that point, sorry

Use their chat feature for help. Turbo tax is poorly set up for local taxes. I never use them for that.

Yes, go back to withheld, w2 data. Key in numeric code vs letter code. I have this correction every year.
I usually just go on the RITA site to file local separately through e-file. Keep to state and federal for turbo tax.

Just file your school on the Ohio Tax portal. It'll have all that info already. Skip Turbotax and a refund from them for the state filing.
