Income Tax Division

Notice

The City of Bowling Green tax filing due date is April 18, 2023 for 2022 tax returns.

Required Documents for Filing

The Bowling Green Income Tax Division requires a copy of your Federal tax return (Form 1040) and all W-2s. If you are claiming Bowling Green withholding or a credit for taxes paid to another municipality, your W-2 needs to report this withholding.

Income tax filings may be turned in using the drop box located outside the building or mailed in: taxpayers can avoid postage by using the drop box located outside the City Administration Building at 305 N. Main Street. The drop box is located on the east side of the building and has a dedicated slot for the Income Tax Division. Staff will frequently check the drop box throughout the business day (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4:30 pm).

Those who are planning to file income tax returns in person are strongly encouraged to do so well in advance of the deadline.

The payment for any tax due can be submitted separately. There is no requirement that states that the payment for the tax due must accompany the Bowling Green tax return. The tax due simply needs to be paid by the due date; the date is determined by the date postmarked on the envelope.

Forms

The Income Tax Division is encouraging taxpayers to prepare their own Bowling Green tax returns. Taxpayers are encouraged to save the form to their computer and then open the form with adobe acrobat. The form does not calculate total income or tax due.

The forms may also be printed, and the information entered by hand. Those needing assistance may also call 419-354-6212 instead of coming in.
