Why is Ohio Form SD-100 not Printing or Viewable?
Desktop · Written guide Content date 2 min read
After creating an Ohio SD-100 school district tax return, you may receive the following warning:
Since the School District Tax Rate is zero, the SD-100 will not be sent electronically
with the OH-1040, nor will it view or print.
This warning is shown when the school district entered in the return has a tax rate of zero. Tax Processors Plus Desktop does not and should not produce the Ohio SD-100 for a non-taxing school district. The State of Ohio states that this form will not be accepted in this situation nor processed.
In this scenario, double-check the Ohio local and school district information on the W-2:
- Is the code for a city tax with a similar or same name as a non-taxing school district?
- Is the code for a RITA district, indicated by an R in front of the 4 digit code?
The State of Ohio states that if the employer withheld tax for a non-taxing school district, the taxpayer needs to go to the employer to correct this. The employer would not have been able to remit the tax withheld when it filed taxes withheld to the state, as the non-taxing school district wouldn’t have been an option for them when remitting.
Note: Tax Processors Plus Desktop is aware that occasionally an employer will mistakenly withhold tax for a nontaxing school district. State of Ohio filing rules prohibit Tax Processors Plus Desktop from producing Form SD-100 for a nontaxing school district.
