The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed a lawsuit filed by two Northeast Ohio taxpayers who claimed the state “double-taxed” them and thousands of other Ohioans because they never received W-2 forms from their employers.
who claimed the state “double-taxed” them and thousands of other Ohioans because they never received W-2 forms from their employers., which stated that when Ohio taxpayers are unable to provide information from their W-2 forms about how much state income tax had been withheld from their paychecks , the state instructs them to list on their tax filing that no state income tax was withheld by their employers – even when their employers did withhold tax.
Palm claimed an Ohio Department of Taxation employee told him that, because neither he nor the state knew how much his employer withheld, he should report that no money was withheld. Subsequently, the state notified him that he owes $49.12 in unpaid income taxes. State Treasurer Robert Sprague and Ohio Tax Commissioner Jeff McClain asked the court to dismiss the suit for several reasons, including that the plaintiffs didn’t go through the usual tax appeal process, the state law they’re relying on to make their case doesn’t apply to individual taxpayers, and the two taxpayers haven’t proven they’re owed any money.
