Some small cities/villages send deliquent city taxes owed to a collection agency.

Good luck, bro. Oh, and I guess you'll also need this.

This seems to indicate I didn't need to file City taxes if I worked in Columbus and the appropriate amount was pulled from my paycheck.

I ran in to an issue when I stopped working within the city limits of Cincy. Cincy taxes are 2.1% and the city I started working in taxes are 1%. Only 1% was taken from my paycheck and I had to pay the 1.1% difference when taxes came due. I've since adjusted so the proper % is taken out but it was a bitch that first year.

And I'm sure they will realize it was an accident, but I think once you're rolling around in the government bureaucracy, you're pretty much at their mercy.

I wouldn't be shocked if they turned a blind eye to people +/- $100.

I'm sure they can dig up a red flag on damn near anyone's return, but only go after the heavy hitters.
