Moved cities, started a new job, or opened a business this year?

Your local tax situation may have changed, and it's easy to overlook.

In Ohio, most municipalities collect their own income tax on top of state and federal taxes, usually administered through RITA or CCA depending on where you live and work.

If you live in one city and work in another, you may owe both, though many cities offer a credit so you're not double-taxed.

If you're not sure how this applies to you, it's worth a quick conversation before it becomes a surprise at tax time.

💙 Did you know that charitable giving could be more valuable on your 2026 tax return than it has been in years?

A major tax law change means many taxpayers who take the standard deduction may now be able to deduct up to $1,000 in qualifying charitable cash donations ($2,000 for married couples filing jointly).

But before you assume every donation qualifies, there are a few important rules to know:

✔️ Which donations are actually tax deductible?
✔️ Do you need receipts?
✔️ What happens if you donate $250 or more?
✔️ Are GoFundMe donations deductible?
✔️ What if you donate clothing, furniture, or a vehicle?

I've put together a practical guide that explains the new rules in plain English and shares a few tax planning tips that could help you keep more of your hard-earned money.
