Ohio Income Tax

Ohio residents can choose where their tax dollars go—either to the state or directly to a local Christian school. Through the Ohio SGO tax credit, your donation provides scholarships for students in need while giving you a dollar-for-dollar reduction on your state tax bill, up to $750. Whitaker-Myers Tax Advisors makes filing simple and ensures your gift both lowers your taxes and strengthens Christian education in Ohio.

Starting in 2025, Ohio will lower its top income tax rate from 3.5% to 3.125% and shift to a flat 2.75% rate in 2026 for income over $26,050—making it the 2nd lowest state income tax in the U.S. among taxed states. Local taxes still apply and vary by city or district. These updates may impact your financial strategy. Whitaker-Myers Wealth Managers can help you plan ahead and maximize your take-home income.
