Some senior citizens and permanently and totally disabled Ohioans may reduce their property tax burden by exempting some of the market value of their home from taxation as a result of Ohio Homestead Exemption changes, but only if you qualify and meet the June 2, 2014 deadline. The exemption allows qualifying homeowners to exempt 25 percent of the market value of their home from all local property taxes. For example, a home with a market value of $100,000 would be taxed as if it were worth $75,000.

 

Since the law has recently changed, click here to read what you need to know.

 

Applications for the Homestead Exemption should be sent to the county auditor and must be received by 4:00 p.m. EST on Monday, June 2, 2014.  

 

Please contact Strauss Troy with any questions or concerns at 513-621-2120 or info@strausstroy.com.

If you thought a Roth IRA was out of the picture for you, think again. Roth contributions are made "after-tax." Therefore, you count this contribution as income on your taxes and pay the tax on it in the year it is earned. For high earners, the fact that the tax deduction that accompanies a 401(k) contribution is gone is sometimes the end of the story. But it shouldn't be:

  • While all the earnings on both types of accounts compound without tax, earnings in the traditional 401(k) account are fully taxable on distribution.
  • Roth earnings are not taxed at all ever (if held in a Roth IRA that is at least 5 years old).
  • Roth is also not subject to the minimum distribution rules at age 70 �.

Strauss Troy mourns the loss of long time legal secretary, Sharon Wilson.
Sharon Wilson, assistant to Tim Theissen for 24 years, passed away in April after a long fought battle with cancer. Sharon was a valuable member of the Strauss Troy family. She possessed great strength, wisdom, perseverance and strong faith. Even during her illness, she brought an unfailing sense of positivity to the office and worked through her pain with an incredible amount of grace. Sharon was respected for the patience she had with clients through tough times, especially those going through divorce. She was a friend to all at the office, and she will be greatly missed.
