(04/03/08) - Akron’s tax filing deadline
is Tuesday, April 15. To assist Akron tax filers, the Income Tax Office will be open
Saturday, April 12, from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., and both Monday and Tuesday, April 14 and
15 from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.For telephone assistance, taxpayers may call 330-375-2290
between 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
All Akron residents born on or before December 31, 1989 are required to file a city
income tax return. Retirees whose only source of income is from Social Security, pensions,
interest or dividends need only file a one-time exemption form with the Income Tax
Division which is included with the individual form or can be downloaded online.
Virtually every Akron resident is able to file electronically at www.ci.akron.oh.us/1040. It’s simple and
safe, and takes only five to 10 minutes to complete. All that is needed is the
taxpayer’s Akron tax account number and Personal Filing Code (PFC) to E-File. For
taxpayers who owe tax, payments can be made online when using VISA or Mastercard.
IMPORTANT: If a 2007 city tax return has already been filed, please
wait until next year to try Akron’s online filing program.
Taxpayers may continue to use the traditional tax returns or may download a form from
the Income Tax Division website if they so desire. They may also request forms by phone,
mail or email.
The mailing address is: City Income Tax Division, 1 Cascade Plaza – 11th
Floor, Akron, Ohio 44308. The office is located in the National City Center Building on
the corner of South Main and West Bowery streets in downtown Akron. The email address is incometax@ci.akron.oh.us
