2010 Income Tax Returns By Income Class
A total of 5,214,540 Ohio personal income tax returns were
filed for tax year 2010 (April 18, 2011 filing deadline).
This represented an increase of 0.8 percent from the number
of returns filed the previous year. Total federal adjusted
gross income of approximately $337.7 billion was reported on
the returns, an increase of 11.4 percent from the amount
reported for 2009. The average federal adjusted gross income
per return was $64,761, an increase of 10.6 percent from
2009. Taxpayers claimed personal exemptions ($1,600 per
person) valued at approximately $16.7 billion, an average of
$3,204 per return, or approximately two exemptions per
return. Ohio taxable income reported on the returns totaled
$309.1 billion, an average of $59,277 per return.
Ohio's graduated income tax rates are applied to each
taxpayer’s Ohio taxable income to obtain tax liability before
the application of credits. The 2010 tax rates were
applied to nine segments of taxable income, with a 0.618
percent rate applied to the first $5,050 of every taxpayer's
taxable income, up to a top rate of 6.24 percent on that
portion of a taxpayer's taxable income which exceeded
$201,800. Applying these graduated tax rates to Ohio
taxable income for all taxpayers yielded total liability of
about $13.0 billion before the application of credits.
Net tax liability after subtraction of the personal exemption
credit, joint filer credit for two working spouses, senior
citizen credit, and other credits was $8.2 billion.
All figures shown in table Y-1 were compiled from returns
filed for tax year 2010 with the Ohio Department of Taxation.
