1989 Income Tax Returns By School District
Table Y-2 contains information from 1989 Ohio personal income
tax returns categorized by school district as indicated by
taxpayers on their returns. State law requires that Ohio
income tax returns include a line on which taxpayers indicate
their school district of residence.
A total of 4,704,046 Ohio personal income tax returns were
filed for tax year 1989 (April 16, 1990 filing deadline). Of
these, 4,592,450 were filed by Ohio residents. Of these,
4,204,235 (91.5 percent) indicated a school district of
residence..
It should be noted that, since 499,811, or 10.6 percent of
state tax returns cannot be associated with any particular
school distict, the total figures for each school district
shown inTable Y-2 are understated (111,596 of the 499,811
returns represent non-resident taxpayers.). However, the
average income figure for each school district might not be
seriously affected by this.
The statewide average income (federal adjusted gross income)
reported on all 1989 tax returns was $29,748 per return, an
increase of 6.9 percent from the 1988 returns. The Indian
Hills Exempted Village School District in Hamilton County
reported the highest average income of all 613 school
districts, with $122,387 per return. The lowest average
income was reported in New Boston Local School District in
Scioto County, with $16,558 per return.
In addition to showing the number of returns filed by
residents of each school district, the average income, and
the income ranking, Table Y-2 indicates three other items of
information for each district. These include the number of
personal exemptions claimed on returns (for taxpayer, spouse,
and dependents), the total income and the total income tax
liability.
