I am a Troy resident who works outside the City of Troy. My employer withholds local income taxes from my pay. Do I still owe income taxes to the City of Troy?
The City allows credit for tax properly withheld for other city tax paid up to Troy’s rate of 1.75%. If you work in a city with a tax rate of less than 1.75%, you will owe the City of Troy on the difference between the amount withheld and our rate of 1.75%. If you work in a city with a tax rate equal to or greater than 1.75%, and tax has been properly withheld, you will not owe the City of Troy additional tax on that income. As a resident, even if you do not owe tax to the City of Troy, you still must file an income tax return with the City of Troy.

Also, you will be required to file and pay quarterly estimated tax installments against any current year liability that you may owe during the current year on income subject to the Troy municipal tax. Please refer to the Income Tax Ordinance for assistance with estimated tax payments, or call our office for further instruction.
