Individual Income Tax
2008 Income Tax Returns by County
Table Y-3 contains data compiled from 2008 Ohio personal
income tax returns categorized by county as indicated by
taxpayers on their returns. The table indicates number of tax
returns filed, total income, and total Ohio income tax
liability for each county. Each of these figures is also
shown as a percentage of the 88 county total.
Of the 5,218,531 tax returns which indicated county of
residence, approximately 11.3 percent (589,954) represented
Cuyahoga County. Residents of Ohio's eight largest
counties filed 48.3 percent of the returns with a county of
residence, reported 50.8 percent of the total income, and
paid 52.9 percent of the total tax. Based on the number of
returns filed, the eight largest counties (largest city in
parentheses) in descending order are: Cuyahoga (Cleveland),
Franklin (Columbus), Hamilton (Cincinnati), Summit (Akron),
Montgomery (Dayton), Lucas (Toledo), Stark (Canton), and
Butler (Hamilton).
All figures shown in Table Y-3 were compiled from returns
filed for tax year 2008 (April 15, 2009 filing deadline) with
the Ohio Department of Taxation.
