County Tax Units Owe Nearly $1.5 Million To State
Kosciusko County taxing units owe approximately $1.5 million to the state in overdistributed County Option Income Taxes and County Economic Development Income Taxes. During an interview this morning, Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins said he was in Indianapolis last Friday testifying before a state appropriations committee on a House Bill that requires cities and towns to pay back extra money received from the state in error. House Bill 1001 reduces income tax distributions to counties by $408,276,000 in calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014, According to estimated numbers provided to the Times-Union from county auditor Marsha McSherry, Kosciusko County owes $395,396 in CEDIT funds, and $1.1 million in COIT funds. The breakdown for Warsaw was a $353,784.37 overdistribution in COIT, and a $66,284.67 overdistribution of EDIT. For Winona Lake, there was a $21,286.87 overdistribution for CEDIT funds, and a $30,599.86 overdistribution of COIT funds. Wiggins said the funds will be paid through distribution reductions in 2012, 2013 and 2014. “We don’t disagree if this is what it is. Certainly, if we have been overpaid we need to pay it back, but our concern is there doesn’t need to be a number stuck into the budget for the overdistribution because it is still an estimate,” Wiggins said. McSherry said all the taxing units have been made aware of the overdistributions. Elkhart County is the county with the largest overdistribution of approximately $16 million. Allen County owes approximately $2.3 million to the state. The state estimates that the amount certified for distribution to counties in state fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011 exceeded the amount of income taxes collected from county taxpayers by $6.9 million. The budget agency is directed to reduce certified distributions in calendar years 2012, 2013 and 2014 by $408 million to those counties to which overpayments were made. Kosciusko County taxing units owe approximately $1.5 million to the state in overdistributed County Option Income Taxes and County Economic Development Income Taxes.
