Ohio Attorney General Collection Enforcement Information

The Tipp City Income Tax Department has contracted with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office of Collection Enforcement to collect outstanding debt.

The City has sent a minimum of three letters to taxpayers for money owed and/or non-filing of tax years. Taxpayers that have not responded to the letters will be sent to the Ohio Attorney General’s Office for collection. Once the Attorney General has contacted you by letter, the Tipp City Tax Department can no longer assist you with your account for the year(s) stated on their letter.

The Collection Enforcement has regional offices located in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo and Youngstown to assist taxpayers daily with account resolution and payments. You can access an on-line payment system 24/7 or contact Collection Enforcement Monday through Friday 8:00 am to 5:00 pm at 888-301-8885.

In visiting the Attorney General Collection Enforcement in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Toledo or Youngstown, valid photo identification is required to be able to access the floor. It must be presented to building security for registration and issuance of a visitor pass.

Filing Requirement

Every resident 18 years of age and older who lives within the corporation limits of Tipp City is required to file an annual income tax return with the city. Residents who are 16 or 17 years of age only need to file if there is Tipp City tax due. Filing is required even if there was no earned income, you were a full-time student or were claimed as a dependent on someone else’s federal return.

Residents who have retired and no longer have any taxable income may receive an exemption from filing the annual return. Also, residents with disabilities that prevent them from working can receive the same exemption. For more information, please contact the tax department.

As mentioned before, the annual return is only required by those who live within the corporation limits of Tipp City. To see if you would be subject to Tipp City’s mandatory filing requirement based on your address, please visit The Finder on the Ohio Department of Taxation’s website.
