I am currently on disability and have not been financially able to pay my delinquent city wage taxes. I believe that my last payment was sometime in 2004. I do believe back in 2004, I recieved a statement from them that they were going to garnish my wages. I previously worked in Ohio. I notified them and told them that I was no longer working and receiving disability. I know the amount just keeps increasing with all of the interest accruing. Is there a statute of limitations for this? I am going to attempt to return to work some time this spring, but will work in PA.

I looked around a bit online and didn't find an out right SOL.

At the website above, if you click on FAQ's, then click on Individual Income tax, there's a question there:
29. If I can't pay by the deadline, what will be the extra charge?
The statutory interest rate will apply to any unpaid tax due. In addition late payment penalties of up to 50% of the tax due may be assessed. For your convenience, we have included interest rates for the past ten years:
Year/Rate:
1997/9%
1998/9%
1999/8%
2000/8%
2001/9%
2002/7%
2003/6%
2004/4%
2005/5%
2006/6%
There's a list of "800" phone numbers for Tax questions on the link I gave. You could try calling ans ask the Ohio gov't what the penalty would be.Filed Ch 7 - 09/06

Unfortunately, that is a fairly obscure question that no one here can probably answer. I tried reading through some of the Ohio Statutes, and can't find a specific reference for the brining of an action regarding State and City tax liability.
If I had to guess, the SOL is probably somewhere in the 7 to 10 year range.Last edited by HHM; 12-04-2006, 05:35 PM.Comment

Wow, I am an idiot! I forgot to mention that the city was in Pennsylvania. I had worked in Ohio, but lived in Pennsylvania. My employer did not take out local taxes. The city was going to garnish my wages, as they believed that I was still working. But, I keep getting monthly statements and the interest is accruing fast. I believe that I read somewhere that the SOL in Pennsylvania is 4 years, but would that include local taxes?Comment
