Why this W-2 Employee Tax Return page is written for Worthington
Worthington sits in Columbus Metro, driven by financial services, insurance, healthcare, and the new wave of tech investment around the Intel campus and the Columbus Region Logistics Council corridor. Franklin County, where Worthington is located, is a mid-sized Ohio community where most county document services are available locally, though some federal appointments still require driving to the regional field office.
Columbus Metro 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 Franklin County clients receive a complete return walkthrough — line by line — so they understand what was claimed, what was deducted, and why.
one of the largest Somali populations in the United States outside Minneapolis, with growing Bhutanese, Burmese, and Latino communities — and Worthington, with a population near 14,786, reflects that mix in its schools, workplaces, and houses of worship.

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 Worthington?+

Do Worthington residents owe school district income tax?+
If you live within the Worthington 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.
