Scott:

Cleveland gives 50% credit for income taxes paid in other cities, so
you will have to pay the other 1 and 1/2 percent of your income. And
it is due by the end of this month (Jan), unless you want to pay late
fees and possible fines. The return itself is not due until the end of
April. They like you to pay quarterly estimated tax with the last
payment due in January, but they don't punish you as long as the full
estimated amount is paid by the end of January. Other cities may
enforce the quarterly estimates more strictly.

Personally, i think the whole thing stinks. This is the only tax we
don't get any vote over, even indirectly. I think you should only have
to pay where you live and not where you work. I thought the rallying
cry of the war of independance was: "no taxation without
representation."  Oh, well, just my 2 cents. Electrons are cheap.
