-I work in a different city, what do I do when I file? We do give credit for local taxes withheld for another city up to 1.375%, but you must show proof of this on your W2.
-My employer doesn't take out any city taxes, what do I do? You may be required to make Quarterly Estimates throughout the year based on your income. Contact the Tax Department for specific answers to your situation.
​-I didn't work last year, do I still have to file taxes? Yes. Filing is required even if you didn't work. You must fill out a tax postcard and turn in by the deadline.
-I only lived here part of the year, do I have to file? Yes. Even part- year residents must file for the time they lived in Willard.
-I use an E-filing program to file my taxes( i.e Turbo Tax). Can I file my City taxes this way? No. We cannot receive E-filed tax returns. You must submit paper forms by mail or in person.
-Can I use RITA to file my city taxes? No, The City of Willard  is not a part of RITA and tax returns cannot be filed for Willard using that system.
