The income tax rate for the City of Fairborn is 1.5%.  The City of Fairborn levies a tax on salaries, wages, commissions and other compensation, as well as on net profits from business operations and rental activities.

Residents of Fairborn, who do not have taxable income, may file an exemption form with RITA.  Complete Form 37B and indicate on page 2 why you qualify for an exemption, i.e. retired, active duty military, etc.  After filing the exemption form, qualified residents will no longer be required to file a City of Fairborn tax return until their status changes (return to work, purchase a rental property, etc).

Losses from business activities, including but not limited to rental property activity, self-employment, farm operations or farm rental activity, and partnership activity, may not be used to offset wage income.  These business activities may be netted together to determine loss or gain, but any resulting loss may not reduce the tax liability on wage income.

A $25.00 penalty will be assessed for failing to file a required annual tax return by the due date of the return. This penalty is in addition to any other penalties that may apply.
