Why this Individual Tax Return Preparation page is written for Bexley
a community where Somali, Arabic, Spanish, French, and Nepali are spoken every day across schools, workplaces, and houses of worship — and Bexley, with a population near 13,975, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
Across Columbus Metro, the tax filings we see most often are mixed-status household returns, ITIN applications, prior-year corrections, and small-business Schedule C filings for new entrepreneurs. Bexley families work with us to assemble accurate ITIN packets, proper dependent identification, and consistent address history across federal and Ohio state returns.
Bexley sits in Columbus Metro, home to Ohio State University, Nationwide Insurance, JPMorgan Chase operations, and the rapidly growing Intel Ohio One semiconductor campus in Licking County.

When is the federal tax deadline?+
For 2024 tax returns (filed in 2025), the federal deadline is Tuesday, April 15, 2025. Ohio state returns share the same deadline. If you need more time, we can file Form 4868 for an automatic 6-month extension — but extensions extend the filing deadline, not the payment deadline.
Should I take the standard deduction or itemize?+
For 2024, the standard deduction is $14,600 (single) / $29,200 (married filing jointly). You should itemize if your mortgage interest, state/local taxes (capped at $10,000), charitable contributions, and qualifying medical expenses combined exceed that amount. We run both calculations and use whichever gives you the larger refund.
How long does the IRS take to issue refunds?+
E-filed returns with direct deposit typically issue refunds in 21 days or less. Paper returns take 6–8 weeks. If your return includes Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit, the IRS holds refunds until after February 15 by law (PATH Act).
How far is your office from Bexley?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 7 miles from Bexley — typically a 14-minute drive. We're on the north side of Columbus between Cleveland Ave and I-71 with free parking. Walk in any day Monday through Saturday 10am–6pm, or Sunday 10am–4pm.
Do Bexley residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Bexley City Schools boundary, you may owe Ohio school district income tax on top of federal and Ohio IT-1040 state tax. The SD-100 return is filed alongside your Ohio return. We handle all three (federal, state, school district) as part of standard tax preparation.
