How to submit or update your local tax withholding

Update | Thursday, February 13, 2025

A Local Tax Withholding Form was instituted as part of the College’s transition to Workday on March 27, 2023. The Local Tax form replaced time sheet submission for fully remote or hybrid scheduled employees to indicate where hours were worked.Carefully review the following information to see if you need to submit or update your local tax information.    

Although the College is responsible for accurately withholding your local income tax based on your actual work location, it is your responsibility to ensure your work location(s) on record are accurate and up to date.   Local tax will be withheld to the assigned campus location of your primary position if this form is not completed and submitted.   

The form will display your position(s) and the assigned work location(s). You will confirm the location(s), change the work location if needed, and enter the percentage of time spent working in each location for each position.   Some examples are shown below.

Example one: You have one position and your normal work schedule over a two-week pay period is working three days per week on the Columbus campus and two days per week from your home location.  In this case, you will select 60% withheld to Columbus and 40% withheld to your home jurisdiction.   

Example two: You have a faculty position where you work 10 days per two-week pay period in this position.  You work one day from home in Reynoldsburg every other week and work the remaining nine days at Dublin Center.  You also have a non-credit Instructor position where you work all of your time, in that position, at various locations within the Columbus City taxing district.  In this case, for your Faculty position, you will select 10% withheld to your work-from-home jurisdiction, Reynoldsburg, and 90% withheld to Dublin Center.  For your Non-Credit Instructor position, you will select 100% withheld to Columbus Campus.   

If you find that your work-from-home location is incorrect, please contact the payroll office at payrolloperations@cscc.edu immediately and do not fill out the form until the correct work from home location has been updated.

Tax information submitted through this form will be in effect until a new form is submitted. In the event of an address change, job change, or significant work schedule change, please submit a new form.   

All faculty, including adjuncts, should complete the form so that local tax withholding based on your work location(s) is accurate.   The best practice is to set the locations and percentages based on your regular work schedule and to evaluate it annually for staff and administrators and each semester for faculty.

*Note to Delaware Campus Employees: Columbus State does not offer courtesy withholding to your resident jurisdiction. Please contact your tax professional or local jurisdiction for information on filing and paying your local taxes.
