Mandatory Filing

Effective January 1, 2001, City Council adopted mandatory tax filing for all Marysville residents who have reached age 18.  Residents are required to file and remain in compliance with all filing requirements after that date.  Exemption from "filing" only, may be granted by the Income Tax Division under certain circumstances (See "Declaration of Exemption Form" on this web site.  The failure to be notified or sent tax forms does not excuse non-compliance.  Filing is required of all Marysville residents, 18 or older, whether or not tax is owed.  This includes anyone temporarily living away from home such as college students, teachers, etc.  Non-resident taxpayers who have income derived within the City of Marysville and for whom the tax is not withheld by their employer must file a City of Marysville Income Tax Return.  For more information contact our office.

Partial-Year Residents

Any taxpayer who resided in Marysville for any part of a tax year is required to file a tax return based on the partial year residency.  Payment of "estimated" tax does not constitute a "final return".  Income, deductions and credits may be allocated on a pro-rata basis or by employer verification (i.e. payroll check stubs or letter detailing income earned during the Marysville residency).  No penalty or interest shall be charged against a taxpayer for the late payment or nonpayment of estimated tax liability if the taxpayer is an individual who resides in the municipal corporation but was not domiciled there on the first day of January of the current calendar year.

Tax Deadlines

Request For Extension Of Time To File

All taxpayers unable to file a completed return by the due date must file an Extension Request.  Requests must be filed on or before the due date of the original return and must be accompanied by the payment of any tax due.  Copies of federal extension forms (IRS Forms 4868 and 2688) are accepted or you may use our form.  (Confirmation #'s from telefile are also acceptable).  Be advised that the Declaration of Estimated Tax for the current tax year is due by the original due date; no extension of time to file or pay will be granted for estimated tax due.

Credits

For Tax Year 2005 and After:  Effective 01/01/05, a credit will no longer be allowed for taxes paid to your employment city.  Therefore, your 2005 City of Marysville 1% income tax obligation should be paid in full either via 2005 Quarterly Estimated Payments or additional withholdings made by your employer and submitted to the City of Marysville.  For Tax Years 2004 and Prior:  A partial credit is allowed for taxes due and paid to another city.  The credit is the lesser of one-half (.50) of the tax paid to the other city or one-half of the amount due the city of Marysville (.005) times the income taxed by the other city.  Form W-2's or copies of the other city's tax return and proof of payment must support any credit claimed.  Partial year residents must prorate this credit.
