Prepare the Ohio Cities extension payment
Taxpayers who don't pay all of their income tax by the original return due date are subject to late interest and penalty. Cities do not waive interest and failure to pay penalty on balance due if taxpayer files an extension request and/or pays in a certain percentage of the tax due by the original due date of the return.
If the federal return is extended then the city return automatically is extended.
