Why this W-2 Employee Tax Return page is written for Baltimore
Baltimore sits in Central Ohio, agricultural roots with a growing share of residents commuting into the Columbus metro for healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing jobs. Fairfield County, where Baltimore is located, is a small Ohio city where most clients drive to the county seat for vital records and to a regional metro for federal appointments.
Central Ohio tax filers tend to need ITIN preparation, expat returns, multi-state W-2 filings, and ITIN-dependent child tax credit work — and the document trail matters more than the math. Our Fairfield County clients receive a complete return walkthrough — line by line — so they understand what was claimed, what was deducted, and why.
communities where new arrivals often join families already established in central Ohio for the lower cost of living — and Baltimore, with a population near 3,050, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.
rural and small-town drive routes feed into I-71 or U.S. 23 for the final approach to our Morse Rd office. From Baltimore (ZIP 43105), the trip is roughly 25 miles each way.
The 25-mile drive from Baltimore (~35 min) makes it practical for an evening or Saturday tax appointment. We also serve families across the rest of Central Ohio, where many of our Baltimore clients have relatives, coworkers, and shared community ties.
Our Baltimore clients commonly include families served by Liberty Union-Thurston Local Schools.

My employer hasn't sent my W-2. What do I do?+
Employers must mail W-2s by January 31. If you haven't received it by mid-February, contact your employer first. If they don't respond, contact the IRS at 800-829-1040 — they can compel the employer to issue. You can also use Form 4852 (Substitute W-2) with your last pay stub if absolutely necessary.
I changed jobs mid-year. Do I file with both W-2s?+
Yes — every employer that paid you in the tax year sends a W-2. All of them go on your return. We combine the wages, withholding, and Social Security/Medicare totals from all W-2s onto your Form 1040.
Will I get my Ohio refund and federal refund at the same time?+
No, they're processed separately. Federal IRS refunds via direct deposit typically arrive within 14–21 days of e-file acceptance. Ohio Department of Taxation refunds usually take 2–4 weeks. You can check the status of each at irs.gov/refunds and tax.ohio.gov.
How far is your office from Baltimore?+
Our office at 3185 Morse Rd, Suite 15, Columbus is approximately 25 miles from Baltimore — typically a 35-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 Baltimore residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Liberty Union-Thurston Local 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.
