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.
